“You will enrich your life immeasurably if you approach it with a sense of wonder and discovery”

N.Berkus

Some people move through the world with a particular sensitivity to other living things.

You notice the things that others just walk past.

That's me, and I have a feeling that if you're here, that's you too.

ANIMALS STEAL OUR HEARTS

Is it really stealing though if you give it willingly?

TOUCHED BY NATURE


To be touched, to be moved - to feel grateful, stirred and emotionally connected.

Touch is one of the oldest languages we have.

In a world separated by screens, our body knows how to respond to touch - it remembers and it's good for us.

But we can't touch wildlife. We can only admire it and enjoy fleeting encounters.

That's why when I'm creating sculptures, I'm imagining how they might feel in my hands, and how they make me feel when I look into their eyes.

    Surrounded by wildlife and nature I get my inspiration for sculptures from the creatures I meet.

BBC Make it at Market and Made it at Market

Back in 2022, 6 months after discovering clay I was given a leg-up by a new BBC 1 series called "Make it at Market."

Then, in 2026 I had another opportunity when I was revisited by the team in "I Made it at Market"
