Wire sculptures and more...

About me

I am an artist specialising in wire sculptures. I love to surprise and to tell a story through my sculptures of people, animals and more. Based in Brighton, I create art for people around the UK.

 

My work celebrates nature and the environment using a range of wires and finishes; from an eleven foot elephant in galvanised wire, to a five foot egg in rusting mild steel wire, to a three inch bee in stainless steel.


Wire sculptures

I am commissioned by individuals, schools, organisations and councils for gardens, school grounds, roundabouts and village greens.


Each artwork is original and can take months to make. I enjoy the journey of the sculpture from concept to completion. Every project starts with a simple drawing that outlines the idea... but the most important decisions are made as the sculpture gradually evolves in three dimensions. I am always happy to share interim photographs as each piece progresses.


I love to see the completed sculpture emerge from the studio and to take a photograph in its new setting.

I have worked extensively with school children and young people to develop and create art and sculptures - I hold a DTLLS teaching qualification and have many years experience of leading workshops and projects as Artistic Director of Trading Faces (Arts) 1987-2007.


Recent public art commissions include Rugby Borough Council, Kilsby WI, Kidlington Parish Council and Cherwell District Council.


I participate in Oxfordshire Artweeks with Pop Up Arts Collective exhibiting in Abingdon.
