Society of Wildlife Artists – The Natural Eye
I’m really looking forward to going to the Mall Galleries on Wednesday to the Preview of this exhibition. I was so pleased to learn, a month or so ago, that two of my sculptures had been selected – one was my Pine Marten, and the other was a small Soapstone piece called Pollywogs (Tadpoles). […]
Winterlude – more news
Flutter – Tadcaster Limestone I know you’ve just heard about Winterlude, but only hours ago I got all the images through from the photoshoot with Steve Rayner. It was a moment I was eagerly anticipating – to see how my pieces would look photographed by a professional. So, here they are! Do let me […]
Winterlude – latest update
It is just three weeks before the opening of Winterlude, an online exhibition curated by Art Connections. You might remember the photo-shoot – the images haven’t come through yet. This is Camelid, carved in Ancaster Limestone and one of the pieces you will see in the exhibition. He couldn’t wait to come out and […]
Society of Wildlife Artists – SWLA
It has been a lovely week of people letting me know they will be able to visit the Society of Wildlife Artists exhibition The Natural Eye at the Mall Galleries, I’m really pleased, and thankyou – it is beginning to feel very exciting now. The SWLA have produced the most beautiful preview invitation card […]

The Natural Eye 2014
The Natural Eye is the annual exhibition of the Society of Wildlife Artists – SWLA and takes place at the Mall Galleries, London in October/November. This year I submitted work for the exhibition and today selections were announced. Although I’ve tried not to be anxious, this week I have been overly pre-occupied with thoughts […]
Photoshoot – sculpture in the spotlight
It has been a pretty exciting week, finishing my pieces and anticipating Photoshoot Day – the thought of having my sculpture being the centre of attention for a moment (albeit just a click moment) has felt rather good. I’ve made six small pieces ready for Winterlude, curated and organised by Art Connections who are […]
Wondrous Animals
Fables and folklore surrounding the Unicorn have long beguiled humankind, and certainly fascinated me. With their flowing white manes and long, curly horn and association with the moon they are the very symbol of purity and legendary for protecting their owner from poisoning. A beautiful and haunting beast, and an enchanting image for my […]
National Exhibition of Wildlife Art
Earlier in the week I drove down to the lovely little village of Waverton in Cheshire with stone sculpture in the passenger seat and footwell. It was ‘delivery of works’ day for the National Exhibition of Wildlife Art – the organisers then make selections from all the submissions for the exhibition. I’ve just learned […]
Demonstration of Stone Carving
There’ll be chips flying, hammer blows and quite a bit of dust – and probably aching arms too! On Saturday 2nd August I will be demonstrating stone carving in Helmsley as part of the town’s celebrations for Yorkshire Day (1st August, 2014). I have been invited by Helmsley Galleries to join the special event […]
