I gain immense pleasure from sculpting stone, and particularly enjoy working with our local Taranaki Andesite, which has great character and is both a challenging and rewarding media for sculpture.
  After attending an andesite sculpture workshop following the 2006 symposium I joined the Te Kupenga Stone Sculpture Society. I was fortunate enough to be able to participate in my first symposium in 2008, an experience that was both stimulating and personally satisfying.
  I value and appreciate the support and camaraderie of Te Kupenga Stone Sculpture Society, and enjoy being a member of this diverse artistic group.
  Participating in the 2010 symposium is a great opportunity to further develop as a sculptor and work alongside the many artists involved.
I hope to make a positive contribution to this significant biennial event, and intend to make the most of this unique experience and enjoy the beautiful coastal setting.
