Wildlife has the power to inspire wonder, curiosity, and connection. Through sculpture, I aim to encourage a deeper appreciation for the animals we share the world with, celebrating their beauty, individuality, and the mystery that makes each species unique.
I believe that the more deeply we connect with wildlife, the more compelled we are to protect it. Each sculpture seeks to capture more than physical likeness, exploring the presence, character, and quiet intelligence of the animal itself.
My work moves between two complimentary materials. Paper Patina allows me to celebrate the colour, delicacy, and extraordinary detail of the natural world, while bronze and cast materials offer a quieter, more enduring way of considering presence, perception, and animal intelligence.
Through selected collaborations with conservation organisations and projects, I use sculpture to raise awareness and support the protection of threatened species.

I am a British wildlife artist working from my studio in Somerset. My work developed from a background in modelmaking, and a fascination with the detail, behaviour, and character of animals.
While studying at University, I began experimenting with individually cut paper feathers. What began as an exploration of material developed into my distinctive sculptural process which I have called 'Paper Patina'.
Today, my work spans Paper Patina, bronze, and cast materials, combining detailed observation with increasingly expressive and atmospheric forms.
My sculptures are exhibited through galleries, sculptures parks, and exhibitions across the UK.

![It’s paper?!
This is a lilac-breasted roller, a colourful bird found in Africa, and common on safari, if you look closely.
I was inspired to make this sculpture from seeing them I Kenya last year, a magical moment that I had to bring back to the studio with me.
Have you ever seen this bird whilst on safari? 🤔
This piece is available in an edition of 18, more information is on my website in my bio 🙌

![This is why I sculpt wildlife 🐾
I’ve always been fascinated by animals. Their natural beauty, individuality, behaviour, and mystery that comes with encountering something truly wild.
My time in Kenya deepened that fascination even further. Seeing these animals in their natural environment, watching their behaviour and simply being surrounded by such incredible wildlife has stayed with me and continues to influence the work I create in the studio.
Through sculpture, I try to capture more than physical likeness. I’m interested in the presence and character of an animal, those qualities that make us stop, look a little longer, and wonder about the world beyond our own.
Wildlife is at the heart of my practice, and conservation naturally forms part of that. I hope my work can play a small part in raising awareness and supporting the species that inspire it through my collaborations with conservation organisations.
I believe that the more deeply we connect with wildlife, the more we want to protect it. And for me, wildlife isn’t simply what I sculpt. It’s what inspires me to create.
Happy World Animal Day. 🐾

![I’ve donated one of my badger portrait sculptures, ‘Remnant’, to the @badgertrust Brocktober Auction, helping to raise vital funds to support badgers across England and Wales. 🦡
Remnant is a sculpture I made last year, and I wanted to capture the quiet resilience and character of one of Britain’s most recognisable native mammals. It’s part of a limited edition of 12, cast in slate.
The online auction is now live and runs until Thursday 15th October. You can find the auction via the link in @badgertrust bio. 🦡
