Where it started

Before I carved from raw stone, I sculpted using handmade blocks created from lime, marble and minerals. These early works allowed me to explore form and flow with complete freedom and they remain close to my heart. The feminine in her many emotive states with flowing curvaceous forms laid the foundation for my current work in quarried stones.

“Your sculptures have an enduring quality. When I first saw your sculptures it was in a garden setting, and they took my breath away. The sensuous curves and the beautiful tactile stone looked so elegant and I loved the way I kept on wanting to look at them. It’s the curves and twists that really draw me to them, suggesting something more about emotions that are felt rather than seen. I knew these would be something that I’d never tire of and would enjoy for many years.”

"The statue is magnificent , it was exactly what I wanted and is perfect in every way, I have sent you pictures but I can 100% say that the pictures do no justice to the statue… I thankyou so much for providing the last piece of the jigsaw on my 7 year build project."

“She brings a smile to my face every morning I first ‘rediscover’ her. In fact, I’ve set up a little guitar area just to the side of her and have been inspired to write a whole new collection of acoustic guitar pieces – so THANK YOU for helping with that spiritual inspiration.”

“…the serenity and simplicity of the form became a focus for meditation while listening to music and soon became part of our home.”

- Keith & Ann Brannon
Architects, Kent

“Every time I go upstairs I am uplifted of the joy of your ‘lovers’ it it is flowing, calm and almost transcendent, the curves meditative and magical.”
