About

I create galvanised wire sculptures of animals and birds that express movement held just at its edge - as if they might breathe or shift at any moment. My work is rooted in a lifelong fascination with the presence and individuality of animals.

Growing up on the edge of the Warwickshire countryside, in the West Midlands, where I am still based, I developed an early love of art. It was during my A-levels that I first worked with wire - an experience that began a lasting exploration of three-dimensional form. I became drawn to how animals carry energy through posture and motion. Wherever I can, I work from close observation, alongside photographs and videos, paying close attention to how light moves across muscle and form.

I went on to study art and design at Warwickshire College, then completed a BA (Hons) in Fine Art from De Montfort University, Over time, I explored other materials, but it was wire that held my focus. It’s honest, physical and demanding - the challenge of shaping energy and emotion from a simple roll of wire continues to captivate me. Through layered forms and anatomical structure, I aim to evoke spirit, strength and fragility - a quiet invitation to look closer and connect more deeply with the animals I try to bring to life.

Each sculpture begins with a welded steel armature for strength and stability. I build the form by layering wire in ways that suggest muscle, movement and tension. The result is often intricate and dense, yet the open nature of the material allows light and shadow to pass through, casting shifting patterns and changing with the light - bringing the sculpture to life and allowing it to respond to its surroundings.

Although wire is my primary medium, I’m always open to other commissions - I enjoy the variety and the different challenges they present.
