England to Cyprus and back again. This site shows a selection of sculpture When I arrived in Cyprus, late September 2007, I was principally a stone carver and a maker of measured life drawing that informed my carving. Initially I was excited by the great variety of freely available stone in Cyprus, limestones and grey/green serpentanite. Now some five years on I am still working My drawing has also changed from painstakingly detailed work as an illustrator through to measured observational drawing from the life model to the more instinctive oil pastels. I use them as stubs, almost my fingers...it feels somewhat like carving in colour. More often than not, they are derived from As a child I began drawing seriously when I developed an interest in birds and the wildlife all around me, I would study them and draw them as realistically as I could. These new birds are different, they attempt to capture the spirit of the species without sentiment, they are rough and sculptural not detailed or illustrative.
