Michael Simpson

Although Mick studied fine art at Staffordshire Polytechnic it was the traditions of his home town of Stoke-on-Trent which inspired his love for sculpture. The famous towns forming the region have created some of the worlds finest works and respect for the craft of the sculptor and designer is well deserved.


There are few modellers who can produce accurate and detailed studies covering such diverse subjects as dogs, cats, African wildlife and the female form. Mick is one of the few who can achieve this goal working from reference books, his own drawings, photographs and observation. Like so many artists and sculptors, his studio walls are covered in this reference.


Mick is unusual in another way in that he is one of the few sculptors preferring to model in clay. Mostly wax is used for its versatility but Mick loves the freedom clay offers and is quite content to work around its limitations.


David Meredith

Art has always been a part of my life, in fact I’ve been drawing, painting and sculpting for as long as I can remember. I’ve been sculpting professionally for more than 20 years, starting my career in the pewter, giftware and retail sectors before specialising in bronze. I consider myself very lucky to be doing what I do, I get a great sense of relaxation and happiness when I'm sculpting, nothing else exists in that moment. I’m thankful that my work has found homes all over the world, It's very gratifying to know my collectors get the same pleasure from owning my work as I have from creating it.

Alongside art, my other passion is the natural world. This inspires my work in ways that nothing else can. My love for nature has led me to travel throughout Africa, Asia and North America, all of which have helped to shape my work in both realistic and abstract ways.


David Geenty

David Geenty was born in England in 1945 but spent his youth in South Africa on his father's cattle ranch which was situated in the wilderness of what is now Zimbabwe.  He attended Art College in Johannesburg where he was introduced to the work of Moses Kotler a world renowned South African sculptor.  This much influenced his early work.

However in subsequent years he decided to study mechanical engineering eventually graduating from Glasgow in 1970.  He then worked as a naval architect until the ship building industry started to diminish.  His real first love of sculpture then re-surfaced and he concentrated his formidable talents on equine study.  His work is now amongst collectors who appreciate his quality and unique style.
