About

I am a multidisciplinary artist currently working mainly within stone and timber carving. I spent 5 years studying a Diploma of Visual Arts and a Bachelor of Creative Industries with a Visual Art major. During this time I found a love for life drawing and the human form and was then challenged to break into abstraction. I have embraced this change and currently work with carved abstract forms and trying to give them a sense of movement and life.
