I have been a freelance artist since my first solo UK exhibition in 1974. I exhibit my bronze sculptures and paintings to a global market. I love to draw and sculpt from life, both moving animals and people. My travels for inspiration have taken me across the globe. I have painted and sculpted animals en plain air in the rainforests of Madagascar, on Kenya’s savannahs, on New Zealand’s most remote islands and in India. 

In recent years, I have been exploring figurative drawing and sculpture and have studied at Barcelona Academy of Art, where I have also held workshops on animal sculpture.
