Statement I am a
sculptor and illustrator of the Bible. I fell in love with our
'story board' cathedrals. What grabbed me was the way the
stories are expanded by the carved illustrations. I work in
the community sharing my ideas with others. I use this
listening and communication process to develop my work, which
is aimed at telling the Christian story. I carve wood and
stone, working in public places, sharing and participating in
the life of the place.
