The inspiration for my wire tree sculptures came at a paper cutting artist’s exhibition at the Devon Guild of Craftsmen in Bovey Tracey, South Devon. What the artist had made in paper, I thought I could make in wire.
I posted some pictures of my tree sculptures on an art website. One morning there were numerous messages congratulating me on my art which had, unbeknown to me, been featured on the main page. Following that I was contacted by several galleries wanting to display my work. I also received many requests from people, across the globe, enquiring about commissioning a sculpture. I started making wire trees for my own enjoyment and it has turned into something much more. I still enjoy making them as much as ever and take great pleasure knowing each piece is unique and individual.
