Sculptor

I am a  sculptor working primarily in stone and wood. My practice has been  shaped through adult education in woodcarving and intensive workshops  with Zimbabwean stone sculptors, experiences that grounded me in both  traditional techniques and intuitive making. While stone and wood remain  central to my work, I value experimentation and periodically explore a  range of additional materials to expand my creative language.

Alongside  my studio practice, I have facilitated stone carving workshops across  London, Brighton, and Sussex, sharing skills and encouraging others to  engage directly with the material. I have delivered live carving  demonstrations at the Leytonstone Arts Trail, Highams Park Arts Trail,  and the Stone Space Gallery in Leytonstone. I have also undertaken  residencies in Pietrasanta, Italy, working alongside skilled marble  artisans and further developing my approach to carving in marble.
