I have always been creative, as a child I was diagnosed as dyslexic, this just led me to consider myself as wired differently. Leaving school, I trained as a motor mechanic. Over the years I expressed my thoughts in many forms, from chef (level 3 diploma) to creative writing (Open University level 3, I have also been published a few times). I spent time as a house husband messing about with decoupaging both small and large items of furniture, & helping the family budget by making gifts for friends & family.  

I'm a few years into finding the medium of driftwood. I enjoy listening to each piece, as it fits together in the sculpture I have in my minds eye. 

I find the wood so tactile & warm. I can look at an item & see how I could do it differently, this leads to an abstract feel to my creations.
