“ I am happiest when I have work in hand, and especially when I am playing with a new idea.. My workshop is my island, my bit of Heaven. I have always been making things, from my earliest recollection .I like whimsy, surprises , fun things and things that move. My fibre work of the ’70 s still influences my metal work. Who knows what tomorrow brings.
