I have created contemporary handmade sculptures designed to bring character, movement, and a sense of presence to outdoor spaces. Working from my studio in Brighton & Hove in the UK, I design and make modern garden sculptures for private homes, garden designers and landscape designers. My work explores organic forms, balance and flow, with shapes inspired by the ocean, landscape and the natural world. Each piece is sculpted by hand, then moulded and cast also by hand, with careful attention to how the sculpture sits within a garden setting and the finished metal patina.
Materials & making process
The sculptures are first made by hand in my garden studio, in clay and or plaster. The finished sculpture is primarily cold-cast metal and resin, including bronze, iron, aluminium and copper finishes. These materials provide the visual warmth and weight of metal while being durable, weather-resistant and suitable for year-round outdoor display. All of the sculpture casting and patina finishes are done at my families workshop, LS Sculpture Casting.

courtyards and small urban gardens,
