Claire & Dragon

I began hand-carving many years ago with just a box cutter, then chisels, but moved to carving with power tools in 2020. Most of my carvings are inspired by the natural world, especially the creatures and plants to be found around where I live, between the Chambaran and the Vercors mountains in south-eastern France.

I try to post information and pictures regarding my latest projects and carvings in my blog at least once a week. If you want to know more about my work, you can also contact me directly, or follow me on …

My sculptures are carved using a variety of tools, depending on their size, and are carved out of wood from the trees around where I live, especially walnut, lime / basswood, ash, chestnut, cherry, birch, and beech (for more information see Tools & Techniques).
