Everyone has great talents, some are recognized others are never noticed; even the humble and beautiful animals on this earth have the greatest of talents; they are there for us to love and admire and to be thankful.
To be thankful for their innocence;…. The greatest of all talents.
The Auld Yin*.
I am situated in the beautiful Scenic Rim at Beechmont Queensland, Australia. I create my sculptures and produce my exotic plants ( African Violets, Episcia,Begonia Rex and many types of Ferns) in the scenic town of Beechmont which is at an altitude of 2,130 feet or 650 metres, between Beaudesert and the famous tourist city of the Goldcoast. I hope you enjoy my passion for sculpting and collecting all types of animal sculptures and for growing living exciting plants.
My Sculptures are created with love, care and imagination. I hope this is not a selfish endeavour for such passion can be shared by all. I have in the past concentrated on Australian Native Animal Sculptures. Now I have ventured into all manner of animals the larger of which I have turned into Table Lamps. All my Animals are first sculptured in fine clay.They are then carefully moulded and cast . Finally they are colour washed and coated in a clear non discolouring varnish. My casting techniques keep the exact detail first achieved in the fine clay.
The beginning of an idea is my first step in producing a new sculpture.The following step is a must and that is enthusiasm. Without enthusiasm it is a no go.
Next I research the subject I am going to sculpt. Photographs of a live subject taken from all angles but from an equal distance are necessary , or I research my subject on the internet and download as many photographs of the same subject from different locations as I can . I must scale my subject carefully as this will make it easier for me to quickly form a likeness of it and therefore save loads of time.
I measure across the head, depth of the head, body length, body width, length of tail, size of eyes, and angle of eyes, etc. I digest all this information over a reasonable length of time as the more I see my subject in my mind’s eye the better and easier it will be for me to create it. I “chew the fat” over the subject for a few weeks before going ahead with my sculpture. This makes the task easier and more enjoyable when I do not have to constantly refer to photographs.
I now have entered a new scene creating Glass and Copper Sculptures and Fine Jewellery which will include such sculptures as Dragonflies, Butterflies, Geckos, Spiders, insects and a host of other small creatures . As well with my Jewellery creations in Dichroic Glass there will be Earrings, Pendants, Rings etc etc etc:
I now have a large range of indoor plants. Hanging Baskets
African Violets and many many more Varieties of popular plants.
