BA (Hons) Artist Blacksmithing

I returned to education a little later than most, so I have had plenty of time to nail down what inspires me. Over the years I have stored memories and collected ideas as I travelled literally and metaphorically through life.

I am inspired by nature, the world around me, the changing seasons, geology, flora, and fauna.

Studying at HCA has taught me how to put my ideas in to practice, how to pinpoint what it is I want to focus on.

The works I have made are just a beginning. I have discovered what it is I like to make and that though using a multimedia approach I can create colourful, playful sculptures.

Setting up my own workshop and continuing to use plants, insects, and the natural world as my inspiration, I want to continue along the course that I have started concentrating on producing multimedia sculptural work for outdoor settings.
