My 2024 non- commissioned works are exhibited in Cotswold Sculpture Park - these large sculptures would be very difficult to make or move in stone so I’m used the amazingly strong and long lasting polyurea impregnated with granite/quartz crystal to create the finish. See below:

I’ve also be invited to exhibit contemporary pieces made using the indoor or outdoor Jesmonite material (similar to stone in most respects but much lighter in weight) in the Chelsea Art Exhibition and Burford Gallery - see Opalescence at Chelsea and Marmite Moment in Burford. I just love the form of Marmite Moment but when I first made it I used a colour glaze - which just didn’t work - it’s always tough for artist to go back and re- work pieces - but I had to…. Now with the patinated brass coating - I just love it … ergo the Marmite reference…
Indeed, this medium has worked so well for me I am now developing two more pieces - like stone it’s very long lasting but light enough to move without cranes and fork lifts.

‘Breaking the Ice’ (below 2.3 metres tall) I’m so pleased with the form and medium of this sculpture…
‘Wall Wave’ (below- 200 x 150cm mixed media) my contemporary twist to dry stone walling and recognition of the ancient art and beauty they add to so many parts of the British countryside…in this instance using Cotswold stone.
I’d love to see this work on a long high wall maybe to just come across it in the middle of nowhere - this wall is temporary just so I could see the piece complete - contact me if you’re interested in this or similar….
‘ Reaching for Eudaimonia’ ( below) - periods of life when you’re juggling so many things and clinging on to keep things orderly and secure….
Achieving “Eudaimonia” the wonderful state of happiness when contentment can sometimes be achieved
