Contemporary carvings inspired by Aotearoa

 

Johnathan hand carves his unique pieces from a variety of different stones, from New Zealand Jade to Jasper, Obsidian and many others.  He has a unique, contemporary style which is heavily influenced by his love for nature and bird life.  Each piece is carved in New Zealand from his studio in the Waikato, specialising in custom designs and one off pieces.
