BRONZE SCULPTURE ARTIST
Welcome to the Studio
I believe a sculpture should not only capture your attention, it should also tell a story.
For me it is the joie de vivre that is my greatest inspiration. It starts with personal experiences, feelings and memories - as a daughter, as a mother and as a woman.
I channel my memories and emotions into sculptural forms.
I embark on a journey to capture the essence of the figure - focusing on behaviour, stance and character.
My themes are universal - the celebration of human experience, emotion and connection.
" Through my work I tell the story of the beautiful and the strong, the wise and the naïve, the hesitant and the brave, and the loved... "
My hope is for my sculptures to connect and trigger reflection with the viewer.
I absolutely love telling a captivating story through a sculpture’s unique personality and distinct character.
From the intricate expression of their beautifully crafted figure and natural, flowing curves to the finely detailed features of their face, their confidently poised stance, and the dynamic sense of movement, every element contributes to the overall narrative.
My art has often represents my slightly quirky and humorously spirited outlook on life. This playful essence is evident in the details and joyful characteristics of each piece, capturing the essence of my spirited personality and my lighthearted approach to the world around me.
Through my sculptures, I aim to share a piece of my lively imagination, inviting viewers to appreciate the amusing and enchanting aspects of life.
My Story
After leaving home my love of art deepened with many years researching and admiring art whilst working in Europe as a tour manager. In 2001, I complemented my personal education by studying art history at the university of Queensland, Australia.
Following this, I undertook a decade-long journey of academic art education, including art and design study at the prestigious Central St Martins College in London, as well as continued independent study and organic experimentation.
" I recently bought the 'Bird Feeder' sculpture from Dawn, and 'Wow' it completely blew all expectations.
It is an amazing piece of work that takes pride of place in our garden."

The Swimmers
Ready to dive into life, these sculptures embody the exhilarating spirit of embracing new experiences and adventures.
The swimming girls, each meticulously crafted, are depicted taking that bold first step into the unknown.
Their poised forms and determined expressions convey the courage and excitement that comes with venturing into uncharted waters.
Looking out to the vastness of life, these figures capture that glorious, fleeting moment when you are poised and ready to ‘jump into life’ with both feet, full of anticipation and hope.
These girls, with their graceful lines and dynamic poses, capture the very essence and epitome of womanhood.
They are a celebration of beauty and strength, embodying resilience, grace, and an unyielding spirit.
Through these sculptures, I aim to honour and highlight the powerful, multifaceted nature of women, immortalising their strength and beauty in every piece.
The Ballerinas
Tales of delicate tulle and gleaming satin pointes. These elements encapsulate the enchanting magic of ballet, drawing viewers into its mesmerising world.
The art of ballet exudes an aura of poise and timeless glamour, capturing the grace and elegance of its dancers.
Full of magical charm and whimsical wonder, the ballet transports you into another world, a realm where fantasy and reality intertwine seamlessly.
Through the fluid and expressive movements of dance, you can convey emotions and stories that words could never fully express.
Each leap, turn, and gesture speaks volumes, telling tales that resonate deeply within the heart and soul.
Wonderment

It’s an unexpected journey to our imagination’s boundaries.
Bearing the traces of life’s journey.
