Viv with Leaves of the Forest, Ancaster limestone (as featured in The Guardian).

Welcome to my Website. I have had interest in Sculpture and Stone Carving for most of my life but only 12 years ago did I have the opportunity to undertake formal training in Sculpture at Dudley College.

I am a member of the Shapeshifters Sculpture Group exhibiting in their Group shows over the last 8 years but in June/July 2009 I held a major two-man exhibition with the artist David White RBSA entitled Shaping Nature. View the 37 works exhibited in the Shaping Nature part of the Exhibitions section.

In 2009 I was elected first as a member of the Birmingham Art Circle and then in April 2010 as an Associate member of the Royal Birmingham Society of Artists. Last year I was elected the Society's Honorary Secretary.

In 2012 I will be showing 6 new works based on the Wave theme at the RBSA Candidates Exhibition starting on 25 March for a week. In late August I will have work in the joint Shapeshifters/Midland Pastel Society exhibition at the RBSA. See Exhibitions for details of those and other shows and work exhibited.
