People often ask what my work means. I prefer to ask what it unlocks.

I try to give form to what is carried inside. My work is intuitive, symbolic, and often shaped by memory and instinct more than logic.

"For over two decades, I’ve explored the expressive power of form, symbolism, and abstraction through sculptural art. My journey has taken me from TV to international exhibitions in Venice, Berlin, Paris, and New York to a more personal exploration of how art can offer meaning, healing, and connection.
In 2025, I launched Beyond Canvas Art & Framing in Nantwich—a working showroom where original art meets expert craftsmanship. More than shop and far from a gallery, it’s a space where clients can experience unique, contemporary art up close, discuss commissions, enhance them with expertly crafted frames and collaborate on bespoke pieces that truly belong in their lives.
Whether you're seeking a one-of-a-kind artwork, thoughtful framing for something you treasure, or a conversation about bringing your vision to life—I’d love to welcome you
