Why Metal?

Metal is my medium of choice for its strength, versatility, and character. I’ve been working with metal since I was 13, starting with scrap metal and expanding to stainless steel, corten, brass, and bronze. My style focuses on capturing the essence of a subject, transforming this industrial material into organic, tactile forms that convey movement and life.

My work ranges from full-scale horses to detailed figurative wall pieces. I welcome a variety of projects, whether inspired by nature, the human form, or abstract ideas. I’m passionate about bringing more decorative and sculptural art to life especially wall sculptures, which can enrich a space without taking up floor space.

If you have a project in mind, let’s discuss how we can bring it to life.

How it works

Every project I take on is a true collaboration. The initial stages are often the most exciting—this is where ideas take shape, challenges are explored, and creative solutions emerge. My goal is to craft a piece that not only meets the brief but enhances and enriches the space. Below is a step-by-step guide to how the process works:

Stage 1 – Initial Consultation

We begin with a meeting, either in person (studio visits are welcome) or virtually via Zoom, WhatsApp, or another preferred platform. This is an opportunity to discuss your vision, whether you have a clear concept in mind or need guidance in shaping ideas.

Stage 2 – Concept Development & Quote

I will develop initial concepts and provide a quote. We’ll then review these together, refining the design if needed. Any revisions at this stage are completely free and encouraged. We will also finalize delivery and potential installation costs.

It begins with a sketch

Sketching is the crucial tool to craft, hone ideas into reality

Stage 3 – Creation & Progress Updates

Once a concept is chosen, a 50% deposit is required, and I begin crafting your bespoke piece. Throughout the process, I’ll share updates to keep you informed. If alterations are requested after production has started, additional fees may apply, which we will discuss beforehand.

Stage 4 – Completion & Delivery

Upon completion, the final payment is made, and your unique sculpture is ready for delivery and installation. Whether it’s a striking centrepiece or a subtle, integrated artwork, your new piece will be crafted to captivate and enhance its space.
