Since childhood I have been intrigued by three dimensional form and movement, whether it be human, animal, or man-made. For as long as I can recall I have tried to capture and express shapes and actions in pencil, paint and clay.
I am captivated by wildlife subjects particularly big cats and equine subjects, which exude power with graceful elegance, punctuated by explosive instants and tempered by periods of latent energy. I try to express these moments, whether the sharp release of power of a predator hunting or the twitch of an alert ear of the hunted.
In people I discover endless intrigue in face and figure. I find it scintillating when an emotion or attitude is evoked in clay or on canvas with the minimum of loose lines or impressions. That a few strokes can render so much meaning is perpetually fascinating.
Often the first few impressions of a subject, rendered quickly on paper, are the most visceral, it is this immediacy and vigour of the rough sketch that I try to emulate through sculpture. Over time I have developed this practice and continue to do so with every piece, each sculpture becoming a fresh, exciting adventure.

I am captivated by wildlife subjects, particularly big cats and horses, which exude power with graceful elegance, their volatile agility punctuating spells of calm that conceal their latent energy. The complex behaviour of animals is also a source of inspiration and many of my works have at their heart the social interactions that animals display.
