Artist's Statement"Art has always played an important role in my
life ever since I can remember and has given me an endless amount of
enjoyment and satisfaction. This is why I have chosen to be a
community artist. The passion and enthusiasm that art can create
within people is contagious and this is the message I want to bring
to my work and try to pass on to others, which can often mean trying
to turn a negative into a positive. I specialise in the design and fabrication of
site-specific artworks for public spaces. I collaborate with other
artists, architects, planners and engineers on projects. Working
with individuals, the community, conservation/environmental groups
and schools to create sculptures and furniture that enhance parks,
school grounds and gardens. About the ArtistQualifications:1998-2001 - University Of Wolverhampton, BA (Hons)

Centre. Saltwells Sculpture Trail 2004-5 One of the
most recent and successful large scale community projects that I
have been involved with, is a Sculpture Trail within the Black
Country. The sculpture Trail is now open for the public to view at
Saltwells Nature reserve in Dudley, after receiving funding from the
millennium Commission. The Sculptures were constructed and lead by
myself and a team made up of two local Artists and one trainee
Artist. The Trail consists of eight sculptures that represent the
wildlife and the local area and include an outdoor classroom with a
three metre high rocking chair, a wildlife totem pole and a giant
oak monolith representing the four elements. The designs for the
sculptures came from consultation with two local schools,
Netherbrook Primary and Quarry Bank Primary School, after running a
series of workshops with the children. |
