I’m a Flatcoated Retriever owner … and a sculptor of them!

Traditional Sculptor V digital Sculptor?
I’ve been a traditional sculptor for more than 30 years. I enjoy the relationship I have with the materials I use and the close interaction with the reference materials I choose to help me, both of which combine to help me create the finished sculptures I produce.

I’ve now begun to produce a ’rusted’ version of my Harriet Hare Sculpture, in cold-cast IRON! Harriet took me about a year to sculpt (off and on!) and she has now been in production for a further year.

The beginning of a new sculpting project featuring a Herdwick Ram
