Customer Reviews
About
I have loved and been inspired by the natural world all my life which led me drawing and painting and later willow. I have a passion for animals and the countryside this can be seen in my sculptures both on general sale and commissions. When I retired from my career as a Senior Lecturer I was fortunate to put all my energies into my willow sculptures, animals, birds and making gifts for the home and garden which gives me joy.
The willow I use is from sustainable sources, grown in Somerset.
