It’s a true honour to sculpt someone’s cherished companion. Whenever possible, I like to observe them in person and in the environment where they feel most at home.
Exhibitions
Over the years I have been chosen to exhibit in many group shows including “The Royal Academy Summer Show”, “The Discerning Eye”, “The Royal Society of British Artists”, “The Society of Portrait Sculptors”.
One man shows have included galleries in London, Hong Kong, Belgium, and Singapore.
Some favourite commissions include Sir Alistair Horne (historian) Oxford, Sir Elihu Lauterpacht (International Lawyer) Cambridge, Sir Donald Tsang (Chief Executive) Hong Kong, George Chau (shipping magnate) Hong Kong, Dr Neal Blewett (Australian High Commissioner) London.
My bronze of Michael Sullivan (Art Historian) is now in the collection of the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford.
He is particularly known for his portrayal of children and animals. His most recent children have been Inigo Orchard, and Venetia Knight, both modelled in London in 2014, and at present he is working on a Labrador called Tokey, and a Chihuahua called Coco!
Animals I have met
Barry
A gentle, lovely dog with a wonderfully calm and affectionate nature, radiating warmth and charm to everyone lucky enough to meet them.
Jack
Endearingly quirky, with an almost psychic sense of empathy—tuned in, intuitive, and always seeming to know just what’s needed.
Magnus
Powerful and grounded, the bull stands with quiet strength—its textured form capturing muscle, mass, and a commanding, calm presence
