The little hare series of sculptures started out as a sketch in 2015 after a work accident installing a sculpture from a height. Since then I found myself having to adjust to working in a new way and found my daemon to quote Philip Pullman. Out of frustration and at a crossroads I rediscovered my drawings so now there are sixteen new sculptures in the series relating to mental well being and the first large piece is 'Never Alone'.
The first 'Never Alone' is being donated to the new Thames Hospice in Bray this year and will be in a limited series. As the year progresses the next pieces will be created and exhibited at RHS Chelsea 2021.
I am still working on commissions of wire animals like peacocks, sheep , stags and hares and open to working alongside clients on individual projects however as time moves on I tend to want to concentrate on my new projects.
My plan is to continue to exhibit with Josie Eastwood Fine Art in Hampshire and keep placing sculptures at The Chewton Glen.

My little hare wire sculpture has been greatly admired this summer, made from steel wire with an aged zinc finish he fits into any garden setting. This sculpture was commissioned at the 2019 RHS Chelsea Flower Show for a garden in the New Forest, Hampshire. All my wire sculptures are created from drawings selected by my clients and my new wire sculptures for 2020 will reflect a slight change in direction.
I created all seven wire sculptures in the garden two years ago, looking forward to working alongside The Chewton Glen and Alitex at the 2018 Hampton Court Flower Show.
A limited series of 22, this wire sculpture’s original sketch has become the logo for the restaurant and cookery school.
