Professionally Framed and Authenticated

All my pieces are professionally framed to your requirements and each piece is produced with a certificate of authenticity. Please contact me for any individual commission work.

My Process

I love the whole journey of creating each moth — from finding the wood, studying its grain, to carving a design that feels right for that piece. No two are ever the same. I never cut down trees for my work; instead, I use small, overlooked pieces of wood that would otherwise go unused. Each one inspires a different design.

Commissions

I was recently commissioned to create a collection of moths for a privately owned historic estate in Devon, which has remained in the same family since the 17th century. People also bring me wood from trees that meant something to them - trees lost to storms or disease. Creating a moth from that wood becomes a way to remember a friend. To discuss a bespoke piece, please get in touch through my commissions page.

About Me

I grew up in Hooe, Plymouth, spending much of my childhood around boats before training as a wooden boat builder. I then spent nearly ten years crewing superyachts, travelling to remote islands and barely touching land - I didn’t even own shoes. Eventually I returned to dry land and moved to Scotland, where I refined my craft amidst the Glasgow art scene. Inspired by the Highlands, I began making furniture and sometimes set fossils or ammonites into my work. When I returned to Devon, a small patch of woodland sparked a new passion. The moths I saw each day inspired me to start carving them from wood. I now live in Yealmpton with Jasper, my Kelpie, and Darwin, my Harris Hawk. When Darwin moults, I save the fallen feathers and whittle them into delicate antennae for my moths.
