ARTIST STATEMENT

I am an experienced sculptor, gardener and garden designer. In my work, I use all three disciplines and aim to better understand how sculptures can be
integrated into, and combined with,landscape/Garden design –and used to effect in the community. I currently live in North Essex, but travel across Great 
Britain and France, working with communities to produce site specific art.

I enjoy meeting new people and exploring new landscapes, I find that I am constantly challenged and stimulated and I hope that my work reflects that.
In schools, I teach technique led, explorative art as a means of inspiring and empowering children. By demonstrating how they can explore their thoughts 
and emotions through art, and then demonstrating how those artworks can be used to permanent effect in the school/wider community -this can be a
permanent sculpture, garden design, changes in approach to the curriculum.
