Joe is a vet turned sculptor from the Cotswolds in the UK, with a passion for exploring the beauty of the natural world through sculpture. He works with a range of media including found and re-shaped natural materials such as ancient vine plants, bronze, lead and stone.
Before turning to sculpture full-time, Joe’s career as a TV vet ran from starring in the BBC 1 series Vets in Practice to roles as the resident vet on The One Show on BBC 1 and ITV This Morning.
Joe comes from a long family of tradition of artists, including his great grandmother, wood engraver Gwen Raverat, and his grandmother Sophie Gurney and mother, Emily Pryor, who were both well-respected painters. Joe’s most illustrious ancestor however is undoubtedly his great, great, great grandfather Charles Darwin, whose influence is evident in Joe’s work exploring the endless variety of natural forms produced by evolution.
