I am so excited to announce that I have been awarded a QEST scholarship this year. For my Scholarship I will be undertaking a 6 month gun engraving training course with master engraver Karen Wallace. Learning these new skills will allow me broaden and develop the work that I currently do, because of this training I currently do not have any plans to exhibit at any shows in 2023. Apologies to all who were hoping to see me but I am still taking commissions and would always be happy to do virtual appointments for those that wish to talk about my work, drop me an email if you would like to discuss anything.
Latest Work
Inspired by extreme weather and how it affects our landscape my current body of work focuses around melting glaciers and rock erosion.
