PORTRAIT SCULPTURES

“SERENITY”

Serenity was originally sculpted in clay in September 2019 in Devon, just before the outbreak of the pandemic. My model Izzy was relaxing during a break in the session, and we were talking about the joys of new motherhood. The waiting for this much anticipated little bundle and Izzy glanced downward for a second reminiscing about that moment she held her baby for the first time. Her expression was so beautiful, so serene. Timeless. I had to capture it. The intense and overwhelming love you feel, the unpreparedness and the joy. In all the chaos of birth I wanted to depict that serene moment of a new mother gazing down with such love.

Selected as a finalist for the Lady Petchy Sculpture Prize 2021, the original clay bust was also chosen by the Royal Society of British Artists to be part of their Annual Exhibition 2021.

The bronze edition is cast in foundry bronze and mounted on a solid slate plinth. Serenity is a short run limited edition and is available in a range of patina finishes to suit your interior style or outside space. Other bases including bronze are available, as are various garden plinths to order for an additional fee.
