Self taught, I have been woodturning for over 5 years.
I create both functional and ornamental pieces. Using mainly
British hardwood sourced from environmentally sound suppliers,
windblown and drift wood when available.
I focus on simple
shapes for clean modern tactile pieces that sit well on both the
coffee or kitchen table.
Working with wood is a privilege and something I find hugely
satisfying. My work focuses on creating ornamental pieces rather
than functional items.
When creating a piece I find that a
compromise needs to be struck between the artist and the raw
material.
I have sold pieces all over the world but have settled in Argyll
to work, influenced by its dramatic scenery and raw beauty.
