After graduating from University College Falmouth (UK), I moved to Bodø, (Norway) to set up a studio and a workshop with focus on design and making of small, medium and large decorative sculptural work and automata. I often find inspiration in work by Terry Gilliam, Terry Pratchet, Douglas Adams and other artists balancing the border between fantasy and reallity.
I like to combine traditional and modern techniques to create decorative pieces that nurses imagination and brings a smile on people's faces.
As a former project manager, I have great experience in meeting with the demands of a client.
My background as a software engineer allows me to integrate digital technology to create interactive, digital installations.
