Keith studied sculpture at Wolverhampton college of art and subsequently began work as a stone carver in London.

During this period Keith produced a number of public works, among them, a relief panel for the Greater London Council depicting the old London Bridge, gargoyle heads and heraldic shields for Ashridge House in Hertfordshire and restoration work on Westminster Abbey, London.

Keith began in the feature film industry in 1978 working with Swiss surrealist H.R Geiger on Ridley Scott's "Alien". He has since worked on most of the large scale films made in the UK including "Raiders of the Lost Ark", "Starwars : Episode VI - Return of the Jedi", "Batman", "Sleepy Hollow" and The "Mummy".

Amongst the most iconic pieces Keith has been commissioned to make are the Ark for "Raiders of the Lost Ark", the Batcar for Tim Burton's "Batman" and the Tree of the Dead for "Sleepy Hollow".

Keith has also worked on commissions for TV and commercials and worked for two years as the Supervising Sculptor at Euro Disney in Paris.
