SUMMARY
Since leaving college I have been commissioned to work on many and varied public art projects. I have used my interpretative skills and imagination to create features such as walls, railings and street furniture that both compliment their surroundings and fulfils the demands of the clients brief. I take pride in the craftsmanship of my work and am proud of the awards I have received. As well as providing complete artistic designs I have had overall responsibility for the management of large scale projects including bringing them in on time and to budget.
