“The work of an artist is to make themselves fully known.” – Daisaku Ikeda
With over 25 years experience as a professional artist my portfolio is hugely varied.

My personal work often has a strong sociopolitical basis and is frequently experimental in nature. My most recognised major work is The Great Wall of Vagina, which has kept me constantly in the international press since 2008, three years before it was even finished! Alongside my fine art practice I have always had a commercial side to help maintain balance in the roller coaster fortunes of the working artist. My work as a sculptor and prop maker in the film industry has influenced my sculptural practice. I employ numerous new materials and processes that I learned on films. I also ran my own forge, making abstract, animal sculptures in steel and scrap. In 1997 I established what has become the UK’s most successful body casting studio, creating private and commercial figurative sculpture commissions in glass, fibreglass and bronze for clients, including celebrities and royals, in many countries.
