A fine art woodcarver based in northern England and Wales. Carving nature
inspired art spoons and jewellery by axe and knife with naturally fallen
wood.”With a background in photography and graphic design but a lifelong love of
woodlands and wilderness, I started teaching myself woodcarving in early 2015 as
a way to spend more time in the small woodland that I manage in the mountains of
North Wales. Using only the tools that I already had for looking after the
woodland, my axe and a knife, I began carving wooden spoons from wind fallen
trees and branches that I would find and forage for on the woodland floor. After
twelve months I abandoned my life as a designer and photographer to pursue my
wood carving full time.
