Cape Buffalo (Lifesize) Bronze, Ltd Ed of 15 only Sculpture - Limited Edition of 15

Hi, I was born in Johannesburg in 1966 and grew up here. I moved to Durban at the age of 15 and and worked part time at the Dolphinarium and the Snake Park. After school I spent the next 20 years working in the wildlife industry on various game reserves and also did a couple of stints filming lions and hyenas in the Okavango Swamps and the Namib Desert. I have always dabbled in creative endeavours whether its drawing or photography but really only started sculpting in bronze in 2000. It's something that lay dormant since the age of 7 when I saw a bronze Native American which ignited the flame. I am totally self taught and have never received any formal tuition. This perhaps made my initial forays into sculpting a little clumsy but the more I sculpt, the more I evolve my techniques and ideas. My progression is very organic. My favorite subjects are the human form, African wildlife because I have spent so much time working with animals and Native American themed subjects as I have, since my earliest memories, had an acute affinity to them and their culture. Of late my creativity has exploded and I have pushed myself further and further, exploring a much looser and more organic style as I feel this adds far more character to the sculpture and engages the imagination much more deeply. It also represents my own spiritual transformation which is ever more expansive.
