He travelled next to New York, where he worked as glass designer for Steuben Glass. He Undertook an intensive study of materials used in construction industry that may be employed in art forms.
He married and after visiting several countries returned to the United Kingdom, where he has continued his work. Click here for an extensive PDF of Keith’s Sculpture career.
