Public Commissions
My work in public art commissions spans mosaics, sculptures, paintings, and wall paintings, each crafted to engage communities and complement public spaces. Every piece is designed with a focus on enhancing environments and reflecting shared experiences. These projects often bring together local voices and stories, allowing me to work collaboratively while creating lasting, meaningful art.

These commissioned works provide opportunities to contribute to cultural landscapes in unique ways, whether through large-scale mosaics that invite close engagement, sculptures that honour community values, or paintings that bring colour and life to shared spaces.

The following images are from the 2025 public commission to create nine earths where each one represents the impact of global warming. The commission by Mike Domingue the Green Councillor for Hexham in Northumberland was displayed in Hexham Abbey.

Each earth was cast in plaster and painted, the process took three months. Each sphere is hollow and they were created using a silicone mould.
