Waves stand up over a reef in their last stages of their travel.
Breaking wave series
I love these waves. They have been part of my journey since 2006 and I still enjoy making them. Every one in the series is unique and inspired by what's very close to my back yard!
A moment in time series
This series captures the power of the sea. these waves have been spawned in far off waters and end in a final crash on our shores.

The mating dance
There is a wonderful Attenborough video of the mating dance of the weedy sea dragon in the waters not far from me - this piece is inspired by him.

Architectural Commissions
Here are a few recent architectural commissions.
These always present lots of challenges and learning and are very rewarding.
