“It never ceases to amaze me how the meaning of a piece of poetry or a quotation can be magnified when drawn in beautiful letters, set out in an interesting and sensitive way and carved into a piece of stone. In the same way a person's name can take on a resonance when cut into this extraordinary and varied, age old material”.
After studying letter carving at City and Guilds Art School I worked for Martin Cook for 2 years and then Richard Kindersley for five years, after which setting up my own letter carving workshop in west London in 2007. I have completed many memorial and architectural commissions and have also carved inscriptions of my own.
