I am driven to meet my aims with compromise.
I become totally immersed in the project to hand and I am work relentlessly until the work is finished.
Small things matter and I believe that God is in the detail.
My artististic forms of expression are varied. From Painting, Sculptures, Photography
to design of Jewelery and clothing.
I am flexible and adaptable in any art form.
My latest commission in the UK was the Bronze Sculpture of the Virgin Mary and Child at St David's Cathedral in Pembrokeshire (Dec 2015).
The statue of the Virgin Mary is most appropriate for this location as it now stands where originaly St Mary's colledge stood in 1365.
The right statue for the right location with the attention to details that convey special meaning
such as the pose and the gesture of the hands.
I believe that Art is a form of language and that it should communicate with those who come in contact with it.
Art is my love and passion.
