Fusing pop-culture and tradition

Bridging the mystical and physical

Intricately detailed and finely texture

Polished to perfection

Memory and experience

A life surrounded by carving

Incredible mass and presence

Mysteries that charm and delight

Swimming upwards

Distilled arctic animals

Inherent charm and humour

An abstract look at stone.

Finely detailed and highly technical

Whimsical, unexpected and brimming with movement
