Commissions

As a sculptor, I always welcome the opportunity to create bespoke sculptures that can be tailored to your wishes. Please feel free to contact me with any queries you may have about the commission process.

We will begin by discussing the various types of stones that are available, as well as the approximate size of the sculpture you are looking for. From there, I can create sketches for you to choose from, or if you prefer, I can use my intuition and experience to create a unique and free-carved creation just for you.
Throughout the commission process I will keep you updated with how it is coming along and will take regular photographs of the sculpture as it emerges ready to give you an album of its creation at the end.

To begin a commission, a 30–50% deposit is typically required to cover the cost of materials and to reserve studio time. The remaining balance is due upon completion of the sculpture prior to delivery.

Delivery and installation are arranged separately from the sculpture commission, as these require specialist art handling, transport and installation teams depending on the size of the work and site conditions.

Logistics and installation options can of course be discussed at any stage of the project, either during the initial quotation process or as the sculpture nears completion.

About the beautiful quarried stones I use

I mainly use quarried stones from the UK and Europe, including Portugal's stunning dense and patterned limestones and British Portland and Purbeck limestone, which can often come beautifully fossilised.

In addition, I find that Alabaster and Carrara marble are ideal for achieving a beautiful polish. Alabaster has a unique translucency, but due to its salt content, it is best kept inside and shown with back lighting. These stones are also able to withstand high temperatures, making them perfect for a range of settings.

I am always on the lookout for unique stones to work with so that we can match your desired color and finish, ensuring your piece is truly one of a kind.

The time required for carving and polishing varies based on the availability and freighting of the stone. Typically, smaller pieces take around a month to complete, while larger pieces can take up to three months or longer.

I am passionate about my work, and I look forward to the opportunity to deliver a creation that exceeds your expectations.

I am always grateful for the appreciation and heartfelt feedback from clients who have commissioned sculptures from me in the past - below are some of their reactions.

Viewings

Exhibitions are yet to be publicised, however you are welcome to view my current works at my work space in Broad Oak, Brede, East Sussex. Please feel free to contact me directly if you would like to visit the stone masonry yard and the new gallery on site.

I have always chosen to exhibit in settings that allow space for connection, reflection, and presence and so far my work has been exhibited in Australia, New Zealand, and throughout the UK, including sculpture trails and exhibitions at Godinton House, Pashley Manor-Kent, Art Parks International - Guernsey, Delamore Arts- Devon, and the RHS Hampton Court.
