Artist statement

As seen on Channel 4's 'Handmade: Britain's Best Woodworker' 2023, my work combines traditional craftmanship with a bold, contemporary aesthetic. Specialising in woodwork, I make unique and vibrant homeware pieces ranging from furniture to wall art and accessories. All pieces are crafted at my workshop in the grounds of Banff Castle.
