Fleeting, magical encounters whilst out walking never fail to provide inspiration for hare sculptures

They hold a special place in many peoples' hearts, including my own.

About Hare Sculptures

Surrounded by folklore and mystery, hares have captivated people for thousands of years - for good and bad.

For me, hares embody duality of strength and sensitivity.

Trying to survive in a world that seems to be out to get them they still find it in their hearts to run for fun and fight for love.

Creating hare sculptures

Grace, flow, movement, power, poise. The hare is the very essence of duality and I try to capture this in my sculptures.

I resonate with the hare more than any other wild creature and in sculpting her she has allowed me to use my voice to say what's in my heart without fear of repercussion.

She has allowed me to take up space where before I would shrink.

She is the duality of speed and stillness, strength and gentleness.

There's just something about hares.

Those who love them, do so deeply from a place of awe and kinship.

Those who don't, they will never understand.

Centuries of folklore, magic and mystery surround them - persecuted and hunted even to this day.

For the women condemned for witchcraft. For the hare, inextricably bound to the moon. She is not hiding, she makes no apologies.

Strong, feminine, divinely powerful.

Hares in the wild

Whenever you see a hare, it's a magical moment.

A slight movement could send them sprinting over the fields. Yet sometimes they see you and come closer. These are the most life-affirming encounters with the wild.
