Many years ago way back in my youth I was introduced to three dimensional form while working as a display artist. Given the job of carving clouds from a block of polystyrene I nervously cut away one small piece after another and at that moment I felt a welling up of excitement and immediately new that sculpture was to be my forte. Some years later I discovered clay and loved its plasticity.

I enjoy working with the human form and spend many hours observing people, the way they move and look. Different expressions on their faces fascinate me so observing them I record this sometimes mentally and other-times by sketching.

I work with incomplete sculptured bodies allowing the viewers imagination to fill in the missing pieces

I was born in Birmingham England in 1943. My family emmigrated to South Africa in 1948.
I was fortunate to have developed my creative abilities from an early age under the guidance of my father who was a lecturer at the London Academy of Arts and Crafts.

I was educated in South Africa where I completed my High School.
I then did an internship and trained as a display artist under the mentorship of Industrial Designer Harold Kilner at Display Services.
I studdied Sculpture on a part time basis at Wits Centre for Continuing Education for five years then Sculpture, Airbrushing and Print Making at The Johannesburg Art Foundation.
After that studied Bachelor of Visual Arts at the University of South Africa.
