Slate of the Art

I am a self taught stone artist residing in Porthleven the most southerly working port in the UK.

Previously working in the oil and gas industry I originally trained as a Marine Biologist and Physical Oceanographer at Bangor University.

I have worked in aquariums,  for South West Water, been a school caretaker and lastly a chef in a local small charity café.

I now am able to spend 100% of my time designing, making and selling my stone art.
