Contemporan

Studied Fine Art at Hornsey College of Art, followed by postgraduate studies at the Slade School of Art, London. Living and working in the middle of woodland for the past twenty-five years, the work is driven by a love of the material and the creative possibilities that it presents.

Whether it be in the shape of a sycamore tree trunk resolving in the shallow arch of a bench, the traceries of salted beech in a cabinet panel, the graphic of light and dark found in the heartwood and sapwood of yew and displayed by a table top, or the shape of a board's edge expressed in the front of a cabinet, my desire is to make pieces with the capacity to feed the eye and imagination whilst fulfilling a practical function.
