WHAT'S BEEN HAPPENING...
Below, keep up to date with all my recent shows, commissions, and projects. You can also find all of this and more on my Facebook page!
Exciting Announcement:
I have some exciting news! I have been given the honour of carving again at the Scottish Open Chainsaw Carving Competition at Carve Carrbridge 2025.
This will be my third year at this event. I first attended back in 2023 which was also my first time in Scotland! The following year I made the most of the journey from my home in Cambridgeshire and stopped at the beautiful Loch Lomond with my husband.
Take a look at my pieces from the previous years:
-
2023: The Seahorse
-
2024: Coming Up Fighting
I appear to be very influenced by the ocean for this show - I wonder if this will influence this year too! The title for the 2024 piece is inspired by the name of the Siamese Fighting Fish which we have had a few of as a family over the years.
The special thing about this competition is that it is just 4 hours and we are only allowed to use the chainsaw. This a real challenge but definitely one to look forward to.

My First Week as a Full-Time Chainsaw Carver
At the beginning of the month, I finally took the plunge and quit my part-time job to become a full-time Chainsaw Carver. This has been a dream of mine for many years, and I am so proud to have been able to take this step in my career.
Here is a little insight to my first week on the job:
-
I completed some site visits for future commissions
-
I finished off and delivered some commissions including this beautiful red kite and this adorable trio of badgers
-
I spent the day working in the glorious sunshine in Fenstanton completing a piece commissioned and designed by the Fenstanton Parish Council
It has been a pleasure to do what I love every day of the week and have time to spend with my family. I particularly enjoyed my day in Fenstanton thanks to the lovely locals and the gorgeous piece of wood I got to work with. It is such a lovely colour!
