I am an Animalier, interested in the muscular form, movement, power, and nature of the animal that I model. The sculptures vary in size from half size dogs to life sized ponies, also twice life-sized hares. I model in clay, and then make my own rubber silicone moulds as a limited edition.
I cast in Polymer resins using metal fillers such as bronze, brass, copper, pewter, and also terracotta, and marble.
I studied at High Wycombe College of Technology and Art, very much a life modelling and casting skills course, aimed at producing a working sculptor. Moved to Lancaster and worked as a sculptor, whilst preparing a portfolio. I was accepted by St Martin’s School of Art to study under Sir Anthony Caro and Phillip King on the Advanced Post Graduate Sculpture course.
Studio at the Barbican, London from 1974 to 1977, then moved to Guildford to build my own studio. I have taught sculpture in adult aducation centres since 1973. I exhibited with the Young London Sculptors in Tavistock Park, and Waterlow Park.
Work shown at: The Mall Gallery, The Yvonne Arnaud Summer Art Exhibition, Society of Women Artists, Fire and Iron Gallery, Chelsea Art Society, University of Surrey - Lewis Elton Gallery, Beaulieu, Fulham Palace, Hackwood Art Festival.
I have work in collections in Israel, France, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, America, Germany, Canada, Holland, Norway, Ireland and Denmark.
