Tiger, Tiger, Burning Bright...

Watercolour tiger I have been working on.
I have been obsessed with big cats since I was a child and think of the William Blake poem "The Tiger" when I see them...!

Red Setter




This Dog sculpture was created as a commission and I think this is when I realised I could create animals as well as people. I really enjoyed creating him. He inspired me to do a whole lot more!

My Inspiration

One of my favourite animal sculptors is Nick Mackman, I saw her work in a magazine in 2000 and she has always remained a huge inspiration for me. This is because she is creating work which I love as a huge animal lover myself and because I want to create such work myself one day! Here is her website enjoy!


Pet Portraits


An acrylic painting of a Jack Russell Cross Breed called Cari. She's quite a character!

Illustrations...

Some pics I did for a friends Wedding Day...

This one made the newspaper!



These are the finished models they have been sculpted out of plastolene and cast in resin. I then painted them and took them to their new homes!



With model making I begin by working from pictures and real life as much as possible, making my own notes and sketches.
