News and Updates from the Studio
Three new pieces plus a new website for 2019
Time moves quickly these days and so must we to keep up. If you are reading this you will have already noticed the new website, helped in no small part by John Kepchar of TAP Photo Studio in Asheville NC with his beautiful photography. I have three new pieces in [...]
Wrapping up 2018 at Bronze Africa
Had a really lovely comment from Barbara and Steve about Closing in the Long Grass. Went something like this: I wanted to let you know that the bronze 'Closing in the Long Grass' arrived safely on Friday. My husband and I are so pleased with it. We really love the [...]
Bronzes rising from the ashes
This is a tale of woe that fortunately had a good ending for 3 of my original pieces. I suspect there are a good number of you out there that have never even seen these 3 pieces. The Kilimanjaro Bull is three feet high and was the very first Elephant [...]
Sculptures in the pipeline
John is in Zimbabwe getting his well-earned 'Africa Fix' visiting family and friends and generally enjoying the place closest to his heart. I thought I might would give you a preview of what he has been working on lately. As of yet he has not titled any of them so [...]
More new Pieces in the Gallery
It's been a while since I last posted here. Been a busy 2017 with renovations and new pieces of work. So without further ado let me introduce my three new pieces. We'll kick off with Audacity - an unusual piece in its form, depicting a leopard on a kill in [...]
Charge of the Light Brigade
These 2 little elephants are ready to go to the foundry - one of my more whimsical and light-hearted pieces to join the collection of smaller sculptures - popular as gifts and adornments on desks and smaller spaces in the home and the office. Very pleased with this piece. Rich [...]
January Update
Well so much for this guy putting his feet up and taking it easy. No, no - I have been as busy as hell with commissions and new pieces, another trip up to Montana to take delivery of new pieces and then attending the Dallas Safari Club. Just after Dallas [...]
Belligerence is here – all 250lbs of it…
Well, we took time about it, Belligerence and I - and now the time has come to bring you my most ambitious sculpture to date. Six buffalo bulls on a termite mound, tightly packed, multiple levels, dynamic poses - a piece that took months of work but I wanted to [...]
Two new quirky pieces in the Gallery
A couple of new pieces in the Gallery that are a little more light-hearted in nature. Find out more about mother warthog and her brood here. I have called this piece 'Pigs Trotters' - for obvious reasons. And for those of you who enjoy rural African scenes here is a [...]
Introducing my American pieces
I have started to diversify my range of work and the natural direction for me to go in is to start making sculptures with a North American theme. Obviously it's a step in a slightly different direction for me but then my long association with the US makes the step [...]
Behind the Scenes
A lot of people have started to ask me about the Foundry and what it is like to bring a wax or a clay piece to life. So I have put together a little series of images for you give you a feeling of what the 'back-end' of my work [...]
Getting your head around sizes
It's not always evident how big a piece is in comparison to another and with this in mind I offer you some material to help you understand relative scaling in 3 groups of sculptures. The first selection is of Accepting the Challenge, Jungle Ghost and Gentle Giant. The second selection [...]
