THE SCULPTOR

​I've loved animals for as long as I can remember. Not simply because they're beautiful, but because of everything they are. Their intelligence, their relationships, their extraordinary ability to adapt and survive. I find them endlessly fascinating, and the more I learn, the more respect I have for them.

I've also spent much of my life watching the natural world change, and not for the better.

What troubles me is how disconnected we've become from it. We make decisions about landscapes, habitats and the lives of other species as though we're somehow separate from them. And it's the animals that are left to deal with the consequences.

That has stayed with me since I was young, and it's become inseparable from why I sculpt.

I'm drawn to animals in moments that reveal something about them. Their strength, their vulnerability, their determination. I love the physicality of sculpture — understanding how an animal is built, how it moves, how every muscle and shift in weight contributes to what we see.

But I don't want to create beautiful objects simply for the sake of it.

The animal matters to me. Its life matters. The world it belongs to matters.

My background in film and television has given me over a decade of experience in sculpture and large-scale construction. Alongside that career, I've developed an independent practice that has received international recognition and taken my work to exhibitions and installations in the UK and overseas.

Conservation is at the heart of that practice. Through my sculptures, I work with organisations protecting wildlife and habitats, helping to raise both awareness and funds for the animals that inspire me.

I don't expect a sculpture to change the world. But I do believe it can change the way someone sees an animal.

And sometimes, that's where change begins.

I am a three-time recipient of Best in Show — Sculpture at Artists for Conservation's international juried exhibition, for Protection (2022), The Thinker (2024) and Long Arm — Telling Leuser's Story (2026). Each sculpture also received a Medal of Excellence.

My work has also received recognition from the David Shepherd Wildlife Foundation and The Wildlife Art Society International. It has been exhibited at major London venues, including Mall Galleries and OXO Gallery, and internationally at VanDusen Botanical Garden in Vancouver.

In 2022, casts of my pangolin sculpture Protection were installed at 10 Downing Street and State House in Nairobi, reflecting a shared commitment to pangolin conservation.
