"…the door, which jangled gaily…clicked shut and left outside the irritable, time-watching adult and the little shop opened its arms to a wonderstruck child. They were all there, her wildest fantasies, and all of them posed as if , a moment before they'd been leaping about, chattering and laughing, and had frozen instantly as the bell warned them we were coming."

Graham and his wife sell directly to the public and on a commissioned basis. His work is very much a mixture of studied realism and story-telling, often having been described as ‘Rackhamesque’. Each piece, major or minor, is given it’s own distinct imaginative realisation, achieved through an unassuming but highly accomplished craftsmanship. |
