An award winning artist specialising in wood sculpture
Creator of the viral Giant Hand of Lake Vyrnwy
Welcome to my website
Who am I?
I’m Simon O’Rourke, an artist based in Wrexham.
I create fine pieces of artwork from waste timber or standing stumps. I produce these using a variety of chainsaws, power tools, and hand tools.
I’m inspired by classical sculptors like Rodin, Bernini, and Michelangelo.
I love to inspire and fire people’s imagination through my creations. Whether it’s a beautiful sculpture, or functional art, you can commission me to create something you will love and enjoy for years to come.
“It was love at first sight with Simon’s carving ‘Olivia’. Her simple lines evoke a spirit of calm grace and she always attracts the admiration of visitors to my home.”

I create sculptures that beautifully compliment their surroundings and enhance gardens, homes, and public or commercial spaces.
