Born in 1948 in Guildford UK Michael's early years involved much travel with his parents in the armed forces, a habit that became hard to shake off. Eventually the family emigrated to New Zealand. On finishing school Michael became self employed. In 1981 he turned full time to sculpture with his own bronze casting facility. His subject matter was Australian wildlife. 1990 saw him expand to the USA opening a second foundry in Arizona, eventually settling in Eugene Oregon. In 1999 Michael moved on again to the UK setting up a third foundry in Shepton Mallet, Somerset. In total, more than two hundred galleries were carrying Michael's work and in the twenty five year period over 500,000 pieces were produced. Each piece was individually hand made. Michael has now radically changed his output and direction and he is now solely producing unique, one off pieces. 'Movement, tension and texture' is the foundation of each piece. We are delighted to be sole agent for Michael's work. |
