Artist and Maker

Hi, as an artist and maker, with experience in theatre design and ceramics, I offer a range of traditional and contemporary sculptural skills that enable exciting and appropriate visual solutions for your project.

Whether you need a bespoke piece for your wedding or durable human-friendly props for a touring theatre production, I offer creative solutions to help your ideas happen, working fluidly between different materials, with a specialism in sculpture and scene-painting.

Smaller sculptures can be constructed in ceramics or carved wood, but as we get bigger, I can carve your ideas in recycled polystyrene and cast in plaster, fibre-glass or resin.

If you have a project or individual item that needs realising or developing, contact me at inkdreams@yahoo.co.uk or via the commission me page on this site.

The photographs below show past work starting with project commissions and art creations from the last 12 months.
