Wildlife is my passion, which inspires me to create wonderful animals and birds sculptures in bronze. Through my artwork, I try to capture moments of this outside experience and bring them inside. I believe, living with sculptures of native animals and birds helps us to slow down and remember the peace that the wilderness experience provides. Beautiful sculpture artworks reinforce positive feelings of relaxation, challenge your curiosity and set a special mood with colour, form, and light.

I am hands-on with my bronze work at every step. I design, sculpt, make the mould, and execute the casting and the patina - controlling every stage of the process. The sculptures are cast in silicon bronze at my local foundry using the lost wax process. This technique preserves excellent detail, readily accepts a good colour range of patina treatments and stands up well under all weather conditions. Each artwork is a unique composition, so there are no two exactly the same.

My sculptures have attracted lots of attention from followers and collectors all over the world.
