As a marine professional with a background in sail training and boat maintenance, I bring a unique perspective to my work as a sculptor.

My experience with Stainless Steel and Copper has enabled me to create functional and visually stunning fixtures for marine clients over the years.

I have always been fascinated by movement in nature – sails harnessing the wind, sailboats cutting through water and leaves catching the breeze.

These fluctuations inspired me to pursue a career in sculpture and garden art, with a focus on nautical and botanical themes.

As waves merge one into the other, so I use tig welding to fuse different metals into one unique form, thereby creating new combinations, textures, and reflections.

Stainless Steel and Copper can bend or disform during the welding process, but this quality can be used to create extraordinary shapes, which have a new strength and a lasting beauty.

In recent years I have been experimenting with more complex curves in Stainless Steel which is not easy, as stainless wants to curve in one direction only.

Results so far have been my Rugby Ball, Eclipse, and Oasis Sculptures, and I am currently developing these techniques further in new directions of technical and conceptual work.
