As a figurative sculptor I take my inspiration from the elegance and dynamics of the human figure and the rich variety of form found in everyday life. Personality and behaviour play an important part in my work and observation is a key component in determining expressions within each piece. The subject matters of my bronze figures deals with various human conditions that I see in the world and experience myself. While I work predominantly in a classical manner my concepts sway towards a more contemporary design.
