Kidwelly
Public and private commissinons undertaken for site specific sculpted environmental sculptures and vissual arts.
My work is Influenced by Environment and Culture, its Relationship to Location and Identity through site-specific Environmental Artworks. I aim to Incorporate Renewable Technologies into the Design and Fabrication of Future Commissions. Based in West Wales, I am a bilingual artist (English/Welsh) and I have been operating on a freelance basis for over eighteen years across the United Kingdom and in Europe. This has given me an extensive experience of Public and Private Sculpture Commissions. Having the experience of collaborative projects with other creative proffessionals incorporating community engagement. As a freelance lead artist I enjoy working on large-scale projects in both three-dimensional forms and detailed reprosentative two-dimensional relief carving commissions.
