My interest in koalas started when a friend of mine went back to live in Australia and found that she had two living in her back garden. Then in the bush fires so many of them were injured I wanted to celebrate them somehow. I hope it conveys a feeling of comfort, peace and being really at home whee ever it is. I worked in ceramic to lend the animal a feeling of weight on solidity. I used paint to add a suggestion of the rough texture of the koala´s fur.

Born in Sheffield in 1973 but grew up in the south in Guildford and London.
I have been sculpting forever but professionally since 1994. Worked 9 years in the film industry, which is a great training ground for artists. Work includes Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter 1. Since then I have been selling sculptures in galleries in London and Spain and concentrating on public art commissions, portraits and stone symposiums. I live in Spain near Girona but work on comissions throughout the world.
I work mainly in stone and clay, although I do make one or two pieces in copper too. I am interested in making work which elicits a particular type of emotional response from the viewer. I am interested in the gut reaction of a smile, or affection or recollection. I would rather suggest vague discomfort than out right disgust. Big emotions are easy to achieve, but it is in the smaller ones you reach in and touch people. As a result of this as well as various upcoming symposiums i am working on an exhibition on the idea of modern beauty.
