'It is my desire to use Scottish hardwoods in new and challenging ways without compromising the beauty or dignity of the wood . '

Worked with native hardwoods for over 35 years. love the pleasure this amazing medium offers - with every piece of timber unique to itself and in turn the exciting challenge this brings.
It is nature that inspires me.

My studio is at the picturesque Newbattle abbey in Newbattle Dalkieth Midlothian When time has allowed I have taught carving and sculpture to individuals and groups, either at my own studio/workshop or at the Poldrate Art Centre in Haddington. I enjoy the opportunity to teach people almost as much as I enjoy the experience of actually carving and sculpting myself.
