“Kingfisher on Bulrushes” was my fist piece. I had started work, slightly, on another piece, fluffing around without much direction. Then one of mum’s clients brought us a dead Sacred Kingfisher.... 6 pictures
The Australian White’s Tree Frog is often seen on taps and faucets as it seeks out moisture and coolness. Often I get asked just how much of this piece is bronze, i.e., do I use real brass taps and just attach my frog to it?... 3 pictures
Kingfishers are often spotted around bodies of water, from ponds to estuaries. In this piece, the Kingfisher has caught a small fish, made of pure silver and is about to devour it as it sits on an old semi-submerged mooring post, which has a little rope, worn and weather-beaten, still wound around it. 2 pictures
The Sacred Kingfisher is often found near water, and love holes in dry banks raise their young. As flood waters from the winters erode more soil, root systems of mighty trees are exposed, providing cover for nesting sites, and good vantage points to spot prey. 2 pictures
This Piece was the second I made. It was very special to me; I really enjoyed making the fern fiddleheads, detailing the ferns, and most of all, the little frog climbing up the leaf. I left him detachable to the piece: I’m not sure why, but people love to handle bronze, especially the frogs. 5 pictures
The prehistoric looking Weta is a creature that seems to either inspire people, or just creep them out! Personally, I avoided them, until one day, I came across one hiding underneath some sports things. He was so amazing, and I had been considering making one in bronze, so, he came inside and posed for me while I sculpted him. 3 pictures
