stone Sculpture inspired by Nature

Hand carved, reposeful animal sculpture in natural stone

From my workshop on the edge of the North York Moors, I create hand carved stone sculpture which connects us to the poetry of nature. My sculpture draws on the changes and rhythms of the elements, bringing forms both grounded and graceful. Pieces that feel alive with quiet movement… yet rooted in the permanence of stone.

Large rocks and boulders in the foreground with sunlight filtering through trees in the background.

Close-up of a white ceramic dish with a wavy edge and ridges, placed on a rough wooden surface outdoors with a blurred green background.

“The beauty of the lines, the softness of the curves are all sprinkled with sensitive emotion. This is remarkable.”
“There is something deeply peaceful about it. We placed it by the garden bench, and now we linger there longer.”
“It lives in the garden now and I pass it every day – it doesn’t ask for anything but gives something every time.”

created in conversation with nature

I draw deeply from the cycles of the natural world — the hushed breath of wind across heather, the slow patience of geological time. My pieces are firmly grounded in earth and stone, each one a dialogue between material, memory and the living landscape.

Commissioning a custom sculpture

A story told in stone

Commissioning a custom sculpture is a special thing; a thoughtful collaboration to create something of refined beauty and personal meaning to encourage moments of calm for those who embrace the quiet, grounding presence of nature. A beautiful way to welcome stillness to your space, or to forge a sense of connection with a loved one.
