Cornelia Stoop

I make use of the lost wax method for bronze casting, but I also incorporate metal, resin and wood in my sculptures. I currently reside in a picturesque town called Pringle Bay, in the Western Cape, South Africa. I draw inspiration from my love of ancient wilderness, fauna, and flora. My sculptures portrays the kinship between humans and the natural world.

Completed a BA Fine Arts degree in 2005 at Tshwane University of Technology, in South Africa.
