I am a wood sculptor based in the Elan Valley in Wales, a landscape of natural beauty rich with wildlife from which I take my inspiration. I create sculptures that enhance gardens, homes, and public spaces.

I work with locally sourced wood from sustainably managed forests. I particularly enjoy creating sculptures from trees which have fallen naturally or have become dangerous or diseased, trees which are often old, rich with texture and history.

I began carving in 2012 at the age of 12, an art which has become a lifelong passion. 

I take part in national and international competitions. I have received awards for my craftsmanship and creativity, including a second place award at the European Chainsaw Carving Championship 2024 and a third place award at the Royal Three Counties Show 2025.

My carving process begins with the bold cuts of a chainsaw, roughing out the form of the sculpture, and finding movement. Various chainsaws with different sized carving bars are used for finer shaping and texture. I refine the details using specialist carving tools such as chisels, sanding tools, and fine Dremel bits to add texture and bring my carvings to life.
