In 2016, I visited the Reteti Elephant Sanctuary in Kenya, where orphaned and injured young elephants are cared for before their hopeful return to the wild. This remarkable sanctuary is part of the Namunyak Community Conservancy, and it was there, watching the frolicking, playful calves, that I was first inspired to create my elephant pendant. Young elephants are endlessly entertaining—just thinking of them still brings a smile to my face.

On a later trip to Tanzania with Nomad, I revisited the pendant idea, this time sculpting from life in the Serengeti. There, I created the larger plasticine original, which was later digitally reduced in size and cast in gold or silver using the lost-wax method. I love the organic, nugget-like quality the pendant has—it feels both natural and timeless.

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.

A Nomad Safari, Tanzania 2025, Part 1

On the ground your senses tune in and become alert. It was wonderful to think how humans have lived in this area since earliest man. It really felt like the cradle of mankind, and it was a privilege to be standing here.

A Nomad Safari, Tanzania 2025, Part 2

I’m a visual person, and I love the non-stop interest of being on the ground in Africa. I felt very emotional leaving. I love the animals, landscapes, tracks, sounds, and smells of Africa, and its people. As they say it really gets under the skin.
