I am big fantasy fan and so every now and again I have the opportunity to create something a little different

Dragons are one of my favourite creatures , the Gentleman who purchased this wanted a reminder for his late wife as they were both buf fantasy fans   he is now pride of place in the gentleman’s conservatory

 

There is something that is very appealing about fairy’s and this one was inspired by a lovely doodle by the artist Donna Mcghee , it is designed to be quite abstract with no facial features

 I love horses and when I  see a wild pony or horse I tend to think of unicorns

This lovely teddy bear was created as a special commission as a memorial piece for a woodland burial , it was lovelyto be invited  to create this special artwork and a symbolic piece for the whole family. And a ideal sculpture for a  situation where only natural materials can be used

This fantasy bird was  created with various willows and often changed its plumage colour,  it has steel legs as they needed to be strong, the sculpture has spikes at the bottom of its feet to go into the ground it is also  shown on display at the Yellow Edge Gallery standing on a piece of eucalyptus tree trunk
