  • BBC Radio Oxford Interview at Art in Action

    In July 2006 and 2007, I exhibited at Art in Action. Since 1977, Waterperry Gardens has been host to the leading open air arts festival in the U.K. Art In Action celebrates over 200 artists who not only show but demonstrate their work. Exhibiting is always a great way to increase public awareness of my work, and there is a great interest in sculpture and lettering in stone.

In 2006, I was interviewed by BBC Radio Oxford; click here see their review and hear the interview.
