Lee Kershaw is based just south of Alnwick on the glorious Northumberland coast, from where he produces his distinctive works. A major turnaround in his life came about in early 2013 and Lee changed direction completely – from being an electrician to becoming a professional photographer.

The artist within him was born, and soon Lee was fulfilling the result of a lifelong passion for photography and sculpture, and more recently the pyrography that is currently exhibiting in the Gallery Forty5 Main Shop.

His sculpture work is done using local driftwood, stone and other materials, sometimes including pyrography upon the pieces – available at Gallery Forty5 is a selection of beautiful bamboo chopping boards, etched with a range of designs inspired by Northumberland sights and wildlife.
