I sculpt portrait heads of humans and animals in clay and the finished models are cast in materials such as resin or cement. I often combine other materials into my casts including jute, wood and reclaimed metal.

I have developed a unique fragmented style for many of my sculptures that have been described as ‘unsettling’, ‘haunting’, ‘beautiful’ and ‘thought provoking’.

Gravitating towards theatricality & experimentation, the end results are often unconventional, bold compositions.
