About

Hi, I am an artist, designer and public realm collaborator working across sculpture, installation, digital media, placemaking and participatory engagement.

For more than 25 years, I have developed site-specific artworks and creative interventions in collaboration with architects, landscape architects, developers, public art consultants, local authorities, arts organisations, cultural institutions and communities. My practice explores the intersection of art, architecture, landscape and storytelling, creating projects that respond to place, history, movement and collective experience.

I am particularly interested in being involved at the earliest stages of project development, where artistic thinking can contribute to wider design conversations, stakeholder engagement and placemaking strategies. Working as part of multidisciplinary teams, I help shape meaningful, distinctive environments through integrated artworks, public realm interventions, wayfinding, landscape features, architectural integration and community-led creative processes.

My portfolio spans permanent and temporary commissions, from large-scale bronze sculptures and architectural installations to interactive digital artworks, healthcare environments, regeneration schemes, educational settings and civic spaces. Recent projects include public realm commissions for Welsh Government, Bruntwood, Beam, Wakefield Council, Barnsley Council and Alder Hey Children’s Hospital, alongside numerous collaborations with architects, designers and cultural organisations throughout the UK.

Alongside my studio practice, teaching, mentoring and community engagement have remained central to my work, helping connect creative ambition with public participation and social value.

I am currently developing two major commissions as part of the regeneration of Castleford Town Centre, including a new sculptural work for Henry Moore Square and a significant bronze installation marking the historic Roman ford and the town’s Roman heritage.

I welcome opportunities to collaborate with architects, landscape architects, developers, creative agencies, public art consultants, local authorities and arts organisations looking to commission ambitious, contextual and impactful artistic work.
