I have always been fascinated by nature and my work focuses on documenting what I discover and how we connect with the natural world. It often represents the experiences of myself or others, linking people to places and moments in time through curated collections of specific species.

I use discarded paper to encourage you to look closer and consider the small and hidden details that may normally be over looked. I leave aspects of the original materials visible so the sculptures look real and not real at the same time, inviting you to question the objects you see and the worlds or experiences I have documented.

Everything I make is drawn and cut by hand as this gives each sculpture its own unique and more organic shape and allows me to create a truly individual sculpture. These are very time consuming processes which means an individual sculpture can take anything from 30 minutes to several hours that can span across a number of days as I wait for paint or glue to dry. Some of the sculptures I create make use of the colours and textures found in the papers I collect, like the background of a photograph in a magazine or the bumps in a screwed up old paper bag. I also use  watercolours and inks to add colour to the sculptures, creating more natural tones and organic patterns.

Originally from Bristol, I completed my BA(hons) in Graphic Design at the University of the West of  England in 2006. In 2014 I moved to the Welsh countryside with my family, just outside the Welsh town of Hay-On-Wye and began experimenting in 3D, developing the sculptures I make today. I have exhibited work nationally and internationally and have worked for clients such as Sotheby's, Conde Nast Publications and Hay Festival and have artwork in public and private collections around the world. 

Commissions are a big part of what I do. I love listening to the stories behind your ideas and turning them into displays that are completely unique and personal to you. I am happy to discuss commissions of any size, from a single favourite species to a frame filled with different kinds of flora and fauna. 

I also love running workshops which I run throughout the year. I teach both in person and have develop an online course if you would rather learn at your own pace in the comfort of your own home.
