“I started carving stone in 1989 and was immediately in love with it. Mostly I use new Zealand limestone but also harder stones such as marble, andesite and sandstone. I invent, teach, run events and do commissions.

When left to myself I like to make landscapes, figures, vase forms and spaces. I like simplicity and some mystery, to leave room for the imagination. I like austerity softened, a bit of ‘less is more’. I like to play with positive/negative between two or three pieces, or by making a space or two in a stone; this allows me to explore the gestalt of forms and ideas, such as absence/presence.

I have run several symposia in a gorgeous classically not-very-manicured rose garden, events I have relished. I have taught numerous enthusiasts and continue to run classes. I have sold work publicly and privately and completed various commissions.

The photos in my gallery give you an idea of what I do, but some of my pieces just don’t translate into 2D well and are not depicted. Do let me know what you like and don’t like and if I can make anything for you, teach you or run an event for you, and I will be pleased to oblige.”
