I've had a deep fascination and love of the natural world since I was knee-high to a grasshopper.
I consider myself fortunate to be in a position where I can study and sculpt the animals I absolutely love. I have hands-on experience working with wildlife too, from overwintering Hedgehogs, 30 years experience of saving Toads from roads during migration, to trapping and vaccinating Badgers for Derbyshire BEVs/Derbyshire Wildlife Trust. I'm also on the committee for the South Derbyshire Badger Group.
