It all started young, collecting Lord of the Rings magazines filled with great scenery displaying the the epic characters with the great outdoors in mind. The background scenery was as interesting as the figures were the way all these brought Middle-earth to life. By my teens I’d left all this interest in the back of my mind so the fascination never went far away but lay dormant waiting for another day. In my late twenties that day came, I decided it was time to stop admiring all the model artists I saw on Pinterest and get into it.

I’ve always been captivated by landscapes—the way hills roll, how mountains cut across the sky, how wild ecosystems fight for space within the rules of geography. Naturally, I wanted to understand how to replicate these things in dioramas. The deeper I went, the more I realised that architecture was just as important as nature in my work. From weathered ruins to grand fortifications, my appreciation for masonry and stone buildings grew, especially when they were intertwined with the natural world.

I’m, annoyingly, a bit of a perfectionist. My projects take longer than they should—partly because theres the obsession over details that probably don’t need worrying about but being a like this has its perks. It forces me to push my standards higher, experiment, and refine my techniques until I’m satisfied (or at least, close enough).

I wouldn’t say I’m self-taught. The modelling community has been an incredible source of knowledge, and I’ve learned so much from the talented people within it. My passion for detail—especially in buildings and vegetation—is also driven by a competitive edge. Seeing other artists achieve tremendous results pushes me to go further, experiment more, and keep raising the bar.

I’ll save a list of the people who inspire me for another page, but for now, let’s just say this journey is far from over. Nature and architecture have always been intertwined in my mind, and that’s exactly what I bring to my modelling—because when the wild and the built world collide, that's where the real magic happens.

As a Brit, I’m lucky to be surrounded by an astonishing variety of historical structures, from Neolithic chambers and Celtic ruins to Roman amphitheatres, medieval castles, and Tudor buildings. But what really grabs my attention are the dilapidated, timeworn structures—the ones where nature and history collide.
