From 1979-83 I studied Sculpture under the tuition of Stuart Osborne Sculptor and achieved both Diploma and Post graduate Diploma in sculpture.  

Following this I obtained a position with the restoration company Linford-Bridgeman and worked for two years under the guidance of Denis Parsons MBE, where I was able to further develop my skills in the carving of wood and stone.

 

I then left Bridgemans to begin working freelance as a Sculptor/Carver and now have  many years of  experience in wood and stone carving, lettering, portrait and figurative sculpture.   During this time I have undertaken numerous projects and a full range of works, using a variety of materials- Wood, Stone, Clay, Resin and Bronze

 

I have undertaken carving and restorative work to many buildings of note. For example- St.  Paul's Cathedral, Windsor Castle, Westminster Abbey, Houses of Parliament, Calke Abbey, Lichfield Cathedral, Birmingham Cathedral, Wollaton Hall and have work in numerous churches around the country.  

I have also worked in theming i.e. Cadbury World on behalf of Pinewood studios,Theatre stage sets, Public Houses

 

I have worked on international projects such as decorative carving at Sandy Lane Hotel Barbados.  The Carlton Hotel Cannes

In addition I taught woodcarving at Lichfield College of Art for over 10 years on a part time basis .
