Guy was born and educated in Paris. He attended art college (école boulle) for 3 years, where I studied Furniture Design, Art History, and Sculpture. His passion was for dance, and attended dance classes.

He later studied at the famed German Folkwang Dance School in Germany for three and a half years.

He then joined the Pina Bausch ballet company, and met an Australian girl and went with her to the UK in the early 80s where he danced with Ballet Rambert (now Rambert Dance Company) for three years.

Late in 1982 he traveled with his Australian love to Adelaide to work for Australian Ballet.

Guy worked with the Australian Dance Theatre for seven years followed by three years when he was a choreographer for Theatre Encore, a company he started. He was nominated Australia's best modern dancer three times in a row.

In the early 90s he moved to Penola. Slowly his reputation for sculpting hardwood - especially red gum - spread, where Guy is now a highly wanted artist at many top galleries both nationally and internationally.

"I still work mainly with wood, although sometimes I introduce metal. My subject depends upon my mood and the grain of the wood. I have a particular affinity with red gum or hardwood, and my pieces are subconsciously based on my life as a dancer.

"I think there is a message in my sculptures. It is not enough to create a beautiful form. Sometimes the work is sensual – perhaps a woman’s form or body. Or sometimes it is something happening in my life."
