I began my working life at a city of London company of architectural sculptors, E.J. Bradford & Co . Their works included St. Pauls’s Cathedral restoration and the making of a new pulpit for the cathedral.
In the second phase of my career, I entered a metalworking workshop. Gaining advanced skills in that field.
The third phase was back to wood. I started a cottage industry in North Devon designing and making furniture.
The fourth phase was into the fine arts, four years of study at Barnstaple and Cheltenham arts schools.
The fifth phase is into the present – Since 1989 have had studios in North Devon and now North Somerset.
My interest in sculpture is in both fields – traditional and contemporary. In the traditional sense, love working with the figure and the language of representation. In contemporary, the new is terrific and refreshing, working for movement into totally new ground, of the non-representational.











For a special artwork, I will be pleased to discuss without obligation any thoughts you have for a one-off custom sculpture commission.
If you commission I will give a written work schedule setting out the stages and includes emailing or posting photos of the work as it progresses (welcome callers by appointment).
Portrait commissions
Why not have someone close cast in a sculpture? Life-size or scaled to suit positioning.
Portraiture is central to my work and I will be pleased to invite your enquiries.
