Currently available to purchase at A' the Airts Community Arts Centre this is a handcrafted graceful sidesaddle rider on her mount.

Created entirely by hand twisting single strands of wire into shape this is a unique statue which can be both an indoor or outdoor feature in any equestrian setting.

Please contact me for further information or commission enquiries.

I saw this wee table in a charity shop. Solid oak but with a really dark varnish over it as you can see from photo on right. Spent weekend removing most of the varnish and then gave it a coat of Danish Oil to bring out the grain and patina. I'm pleased with my first restoration.

All of my wire sculptures are individually handcrafted, with each piece taking several days to complete. No two sculptures are ever the same, making every creation a unique work of art.

The only tool I use is my wire clippers to cut the single stranded wire. All the shaping is by hand.

I also welcome commission enquiries and can incorporate a small amount of your horse's clean tail hair into the sculpture, creating a deeply personal and lasting keepsake. If you're considering a sculpture as a commissioned gift, please allow several weeks for completion to ensure each piece receives the time and attention it deserves.

My sculptures are created using galvanised garden wire, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor display. Outdoor pieces can be made with an integrated wire fixing, allowing them to be mounted on gateposts, fences, or other wooden structures. I also provide the required fence clips free of charge.

If you'd like to discuss a commission or learn more about my work, please send me a message. I'd be delighted to create something truly special for you.

Other animals including sheep, dogs and cattle can also be created. Please see previous posts.

(All horses pictured below have already been purchased apart from big Maximus on the table who is ideal for a garden or yard decoration.)

Much washing of sheep fleeces today in the outside bath so I can get them dried in the sun. Plus starting a new rug and also spinning raw wool into yarn.
