Contemporary woman-centric sculpture rooted in history.
Iconic depictions of womanhood in response to current issues – viewed through an archaic lens and my own experience of the MeToo Movement.
Monumental artworks to hand-sized artefacts in stone, bone, and other materials, using ancient hand-tool skills and contemporary technology (NOT Ai).

MY BACKSTORY – I emerged as an exhibiting artist at 55 after working for 30 years in the historic architectural reconstruction and memorial trade:
Download my CV
In Museums: (late 1980s)
I began my career in museums and galleries (The Metropolitan Museum in New York and The British Museum, The V&A’s Museum of Childhood, and The Crafts Council in London). Close contact with some of the most beautiful objects in the world taught me a great deal and set the standard for craft skills.
In the Bespoke Carving Trade: (1990s)
Inspired by ancient artefacts, I retrained in Historic Stonecarving at The City & Guilds School of Art. I was apprenticed to and worked with the best stonecarving and lettercutting workshops in England; Dick Reid’s Workshop in York, Richard Kindersley in London, Rattee & Ketts, and The Carving Workshop in Cambridge.
I worked on many prestigious projects including; Lord Rothschild’s marble fireplaces at Spencer House London, St George’s Chapel Windsor Castle, York Minster, Ely Cathedral, the Tibetan Peace Garden at The Imperial War Museum London, The Peace Garden Sheffield, and Corpus Christi College Cambridge.
As a Freelance Stonecarver: (2000 – 2019)
In 2003 I established a business creating privately commissioned memorial sculpture.
As a Stonecarving Tutor: (2017 – )
I run monthly Platinum Award-winning Stone Carving Workshops in my studio in York.
