My passion is for telling stories in bronze – of the struggles for social justice and telling the stories of the lives of those missing from our visual and written histories. A statue must be a catalyst for change. My life-long activism weaves its way through my artistic practice, one statue at a time.

I’m perhaps best known for my bronze public commissions such as Sir Nigel Gresley at King’s Cross Station, the women biscuit factory workers – the Cracker Packers – in Carlisle, Elizabeth Wolstenholme Elmy in Congleton and suffragette Emmeline Pankhurst in Manchester, winner of the Marsh Award for Excellence in Public Sculpture 2021.

I’m a Member of the Royal Society of Sculptors (MRSS) and the Society of Women Artists.
