Personal Statement:
I specialize in new designs duplicated in any authentic period style. Advanced knowledge of architectural periods gives our clients an artistic element that suits the individualistic stylistic tastes of the client, architect or designer in the design phase of carving. I have a wide range of experience from working with some of the best master carvers, builders, sculptors and artisans in Europe and America. I achieved the title of Master Carver from the Master Carver's Association of Great Britain. My formal stone training augmented with figurative sculpture/drawing and architectural drafting influences the quality of my work ... All work is custom.
