I am a figurative artist, inspired by the beautiful local North Yorkshire Moors which I am lucky enough to live among, and my love of all animals. My practice around creating detailed, carefully handcrafted, bespoke sculptures has grown and now focuses on creating unique sculptures of beloved pets.
My love of art goes back to my early childhood, thanks in part to my Grandma Joan's encouragement and ongoing support and that of my wider family. After exploring outdoor based qualifications and becoming an artist assistant, I wanted to develop my own practice and take my design ideas further, and so, after completing a Fine Art degree in 2023, I went solo in early 2024. I love the freedom and professional relationships that working directly with the client brings, I am also lucky enough to get to see lots of photos of different dogs on an almost daily basis! Each sculpture comes to life as I add in the finer details which makes each piece bespoke, representing the character and individual markings of each animal.
