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. I'm also Vice Chair for the South Derbyshire Badger Group.
