“Elephants, along with other African animals are a subject close to my heart. After school I travelled in Africa and it was at Lewa Conservancy in Kenya, observing all the wildlife in their natural habitat, that I first decided to make sculpting my career.” (HM)

Hamish’s affection for elephants is apparent in his sensitively realised bronze bull elephants sculpture. Hamish is always mindful of the vulnerable status of elephants and the threat to population numbers, having a long association with the conservation organisation Tusk and the Lewa Conservancy in Kenya. His bronze sculptures of bull elephants are particularly appealing, sculpted with a comprehensive understanding of their anatomy, behaviour and character from years of observation and field study.

Elephant, along with other African animals are a subject close to my heart. After school I travelled in Africa and by chance ended up at Lewa Conservancy in Kenya, observing all the wildlife in their natural habitat. It was, at Lewa, that I first decided to make sculpting my career. Watching elephants, in musk, fighting each other is an extraordinarily exciting sight and one that I was lucky to witness. This sight was one that just needed to be sculpted, so armed with my research material I sculpted these bronze Elephant Bulls Fighting in my studio.

    Northern Rangelands Trust, Kenya

    I have just returned from another visit to the Northern Rangelands Trust in Kenya. As a sculptor, studying wildlife in its natural habitat is the only way to understand an animal. The NRT's work is making a real difference to preserving those habitats. And this has a favourable impact on the people and animals that live there too.

    The Sculptor as Photographer

    Now, I can view images on my laptop taken earlier the same day. This has been especially valuable for getting the most out of research trips. It is so easy to then bring those images and films from the field back into my studio.
