Although she produces such varied pieces, there is a constant vein of vigour of movement and texture that demands to be touched. Her work is to be found in many homes in England, Scotland and Wales, including that of Penelope Keith, and in Kuwait, Singapore, Italy, France, New Zealand and the United States. Commissions include a Madonna and Child in Oak, for St Peters Church, Petersfield, and a bust of John Bofwen, who gave his garden in Petersfield to the town for the use of the public. Other works in public places include Petersfield Hospital, and King Edward School Witley. |

Sophie Dickens was advised not to go to art school "It will kill you off,"she was told by her school art teacher. So she went to the Courtauld Institute, where she studied the High Renaissance by day, and painted the human figure by night. "I never stopped going to life classes. I was always trying to get to grips with anatomy," she says. "But the biggest mistake I made was when I left the Courtauld. I was working at a Bond St Gallery, selling Victorian paintings to tourists. It was aweful. One day, I just walked out." And into a commission from a museum in Plymouth to sculpt, of all things, the head of Walter Raleigh. Getting to grips with the eminent Elizabethan proved an epiphany. "I had to make him out off clay," she says. "Doing it was just instant happiness.It gave me the feeling of well-being which comes when you realise, immediately, that this is what you must do." Interestingly, when she looks back at her earlier paintings, she now identifies them as "the paintings of a sculptor".
She signed up for two years' training in sculpture under Clive Duncan at the John Cass Foundation in Whitechapel, and the anatomy course at The Slade, where she would study cadavers. Fortunately for her, figurative work was going through one of its unfashionable moments. "It was great. I was the only person in the life drawing room. So I could get the model to do whatever I wanted. I used to get one man to act just like a chicken." Gradually her passion for clay graduated to a fascination for working in the malleable yet crisp medium of wood. "I wanted the anatomy to show, but not as if the figure had been flayed," she comments. It takes confidence to combine immediacy alongside references to the art historical cannon, but Dickens pulls it off triumphantly. Icarus, Europa, a cartwheeling figure, a leaping hare, ravens in the sitting room; the fluency and dynamism of Dickens' oeuvre belies a fundamental appreciation not only in the aesthetic of living beings, but an ebullient joy regarding shape itself. |

Michael Hipkins was born in 1942 and received his Art education at Blackpool College. He then went to Paris to study painting at the Academie de la Grande Chaumiere and Academie Julienne and etching and engraving at S.W. Hayter’s Atelier 17. Primarily absorbed by the human figure, he is not so concerned with naturalistic interpretation but rather with truth to materials used. In his stone carving he tries to bring out the quality of the stone, showing different degrees of process from the raw stone to a highly polished finish. The figures emerge from the stone creating unity in form, spirit and movement. |

Is a figurative sculptor, working in an expressive, contemporary style. She is widely exhibited in the Cotswold, Sufffolk, Bristol, Birmingham, Oxford, London, Amsterdam and Munich. Her sculptures aspire to simplify the figure in order to reveal the essence of a state of being or movement. Her heads are less converned with portraiture, than with an archetypal experience. They have been stylised and distorted: hard angles and juxtaposed with rounded surfaces. Size, shape and proportins of the features are being experimented with, and simplified into clear lines and smooth surfaeces. Multiple heads are being held together by means of curves, caves and arches. |

He has used several dominant themes over the years but in the eighties returned to the figure as a vehicle for expressive abstract ideas. His accessible images present a light, even playful feel but beneath this immediacy lie the serious issues of form and structure which have always controlled his work. John Huggins’ sculptures have been exhibited in Geneva, Amsterdam, the Hague, Guernsey and the US as well as in Bath, Birmingham, Bristol and London where he has had twelve one-man shows and been continuously represented since 1968. He is a member of the Royal Society of British Sculptors and the Royal West of England Academy where he is currently Academician’s Chairman. He lives and works in Gloucestershire UK. |

Revels in interpreting the human form and wildlife in such a way, that he seems to touch a chord with everybody – he is without doubt the most sought after Sculptor in the island, and is a frequent visitor here with his friend and co-sculptor Guy Portelli.
Ev has been working as a professional sculptor for the past 35 years. He works in clay then casts his pieces in bronze or various resins. In recent years his abstract sculptures have been constructed with stainless steel.
In both his figurative and abstract works he strives to illustrate the natural vitality linking humans and other living forms. This is particularly evident in his latest works such as `Budburst`, `Vol au Vent` and `Earthdance`. |

Capturing that fleeting moment of thought that remains as a nostalgic memory of wonderful times past is what Mike so delightfully portrays. The results are both tangible and ephemeral at the same time and evoke a myriad of emotions. |

As he is in such demand for commissions for public and private collections, he has very little time to work on his own inspirations and we are privileged to share some of his own examples of realism. His work is of such quality that it has nearly all been funded by rural development funds, the Lottery, Arts Councils and County Councils. |

Drawing inspiration from cave paintings and developing with echoes from the Renaissance overlaid with the wildness and drama of the Highlands of Scotland and the Peak District. Stripping everything down to its element essential, he creates this art form that is all his own. |

The man who rediscovered the Aeolian Harp as an art form. The Ancients used to use wooden boxes with harp strings which were vibrated by the wind but it was not until Geoffrey applied his technical skill combined with his artists flair that something so pleasing on the eye and ear has been created from modern composites. Despite being in such demand for what he can make he still somehow finds time to create new and exciting forms. |

Jilly Sutton trained at Exeter College of Art. She carves ‘in the round’ large pieces of tree, the challenge being the plastic manipulation of the wood. Her mostly figurative work has a haunting beauty, with an over-riding feeling of peace. Her double sized head of the Poet Laureate is in the National Portrait Gallery. Much of her work is cast in bronze or jesmonite. |

A truly remarkable man who is the quintessential artist of his time as he moves effortlessly from era to era with skilful ease. Currently the exhibition ‘Bubbling Optimism’ epitomises his strength and success. His work is spread world wide and has an enthusiastic following of friends and clients, who are usually both, so it is quite difficult to get a piece of his work before all the editions are snapped up.
Peter Thursby and his lifetime of work is the subject at the Guernsey Museum Art exhibition this year till June. Go and look at what he has achieved with pieces from a few inches high to larger than life. Unusually there is some work for sale, so do take this rare opportunity. |

Marcelle, whose feral imagination spans and creates a wonderful variety of work, be it re-carving the landscape or creating sculpture to form a symbiosis with its space, so that both intensify each other. Look at her portfolio to see this personified. She has exhibited all over Europe, though this is her first time in Guernsey, and we are incredibly lucky to have her work represented here. |

Whose mastery of design and precision shows through in all his work. The rhythms he creates are superbly defined in these pieces we have here – look and marvel how simple he makes a complex concept. He is a giant amongst giants with pieces in most serious collections in the world. |

Trained at Goldsmith and The Royal College of Art. In her animal work she manages to capture that fleeting essence of movement which transcends mere accuracy, a rare accomplishment. Olive often uses mythology as subject matter for her work involving the human form. She finds the demands of expressing emotion relevant to the human condition both challenging and exciting. |

He is one of those rare artists whose skill is entirely natural and untaught and whose artistry has been appreciated by such as Sir Cecil Beaton, his first client, The Duke of Westminster who commissioned a 5 metre bronze of his ancestor Sir Robert Grosvenor and so the list goes on. He is particularly well known for his singular ability to capture that spontaneous moment of movement or repose whether of people, birds or animals. |
