Sculpture can be a welcome addition to any outdoor space – but how about a sculpture of something uniquely Australian.

Overview
Since 1996, I have been working on designing, creating and selling contemporary metal furniture and sculpture. I found forging of hot steel enables me to directly take a thought or concept and bring it to life. Experimenting with the shaping of steel and discovering its creative possibilities has been exciting and has lead to a large self taught knowledge base. My main body of work has been the creation of forged steel lizards. The lizard theme allows me to work dynamic organic shapes in three dimensions resulting in a variety of expressions each instilled with life and movement. Commissioned work is also welcome. I can work closely with customers needs to complete any form of metalwork.
