Look again.

The natural world is full of extraordinary things that we barely notice.

I am interested in the moments that make me stop: a cluster of rose hips glowing against an autumn hedge, dew caught on a seed case, a fallen leaf at the point where summer begins to give way to winter. Small, fleeting encounters that might otherwise pass unnoticed.

My work begins with observation. I look closely at colour, texture, structure, light and change, particularly those brief moments when everything converges to create something that may exist for only an instant.

I want to capture something of that moment.

My sculptures are not intended to replace nature, but to preserve my response to an encounter with it, to hold onto a particular combination of form, colour and atmosphere after the moment itself has passed.

Working primarily in mixed-media sculpture, I construct each botanical element by hand using cold porcelain, wire, pigments, paint and other materials. Every piece is individually formed, assembled and finished by hand, with colour and fine detail built up using paint, earth pigments, charcoal and other techniques.

I may return to the same flowers, foliage, berries or seed pods, but I never repeat a piece. Each composition is created as a unique work, and no sculpture is ever reproduced or issued as an edition. The same elements may appear again, but they will never be brought together in quite the same way.

This individuality is central to my practice. Nature itself does not repeat perfectly. No two leaves are identical, light never falls quite the same way twice, and the landscape is continually changing.

Through my work, I try to give those fleeting encounters a lasting presence — and to encourage the viewer to notice what might otherwise be overlooked.
