I have been a chainsaw and power tools woodcarving artist for some 16 years now. I carved mainly wildlife trying for a level of realism that got me to national competition standard both here and in the USA. There followed many commissions in local Parks for sculptures, benches and chairs. Its been a fun roller coaster ride of highs and lows but the time has now come to focus on making smaller wood carvings and taking them to the next level.
Experimentation drives everything I do and I'm really excited by the possibilities offered by fused coloured glass and how the whole composition can be enhanced by incorporating colour into wood.
So my large size chainsaw carving is now scaled down into smaller more abstract sculptures and I am experimenting with how to insert glass pieces into wood-carved sculpture to hopefully plough a totally unique farrow.
