Exhibition at Magpie Contemporary Art
Bird tail-up is my very latest stone sculpture and one of my bird carvings on show at Magpie Contemporary Art Autumn Exhibition. The sculpture shows a bird with its tail up in the air, in a perky attitude. I’ve carved in one or two details, some marks to suggest tail feathers and also crisp […]

A Bird in the Bombweed
There are long stems of Rosebay Willowherb growing just now, the best colour here at the workshop by far. Most everything else is going golden, or brown, or gone over completely. The tall pink flower spikes of Willowherb can often be seen grouped together in bunched stands in open spaces, such as woodland clearings, […]

This is a little preview of one of the sculptures – Garden Bird with a long tail – which you’ll be able to view online this weekend where a small collection of new pieces will be available from 9 am on Saturday morning as part of the amazing Tutton & Young MADE Makers show. […]
The Big 100 Artists Exhibition
What a wonderful curation this is – all my stone sculpture was looking forward to being shown in the gardens at Glemham Hall alongside the other pieces, but it wasn’t to be. With a herculean effort by the Art for Cure Team the exhibition is online instead. Happy browsing! Opens 6pm […]
A Dragonfly and some Updates
I’ve been carving a dragonfly – an Emperor Dragonfly just landed, and resting on a pebble. Here I’m working on getting the legs as thin as I dare and putting some detail into the tail, which will overhang the stone it is sitting on. What an apt sculpture to be working on just now […]
Watermark Gallery in Harrogate
Yesterday I delivered a small collection of stone pieces to the Watermark Gallery in Harrogate, just in time for a celebration of their opening in the evening. It was a delight to meet owner Liz Hawkes and see her new gallery. Liz is so knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the art and sculptural pieces […]
Stone Sculpture by the Lakes
Yesterday I packaged stone sculpture ready for transit to a new gallery, Sculpture by the Lakes, who will be representing me in 2020. Sculpture by the Lakes is a special and extraordinary venue stretching across the Dorset countryside, a place of beauty, restfulness and peace created by sculptor Simon Gudgeon and his wife […]
An Upside Down Bird for Glemham Hall
It is unusual to see a bird on its back reclining in this way – in nature they’re very vulnerable in this position. Sometimes you can see birds hanging upside down from a branch during feeding to get a better reach, where they’re cleverly agile and demonstrate extraordinary flexibility and grip. There is a […]
Harrogate Spring Flower Show 2020
In April this year I’m exhibiting at the Harrogate Spring Flower Show – the show will provide an inspiring platform to showcase some of my larger sculpture, and new pieces for the garden. I’m also taking a little range of pots and planters and unique artistic one-off pieces. Harrogate Flower Show is a […]
