I’ve recently begun to explore the form of wood sculpture, since moving to Paradise Beach 18 months ago. Both my parents have been artists so they were always going to be a big influence. My father was also a carpenter/builder who had a particular love for timber.
 
Though I’ve never before considered making art seriously, living here has given me the inspiration to enjoy making a few pieces from tree roots that have been found or discarded when trees needed to be moved before a new building was started.
