About the Item

“In Step” is a very personal piece for me — a bronze sculpture that captures the quiet tenderness between a mother elephant and her calf. I was moved to sculpt this moment after watching a pair walk together in perfect rhythm, their trunks briefly touching — a gesture of connection, guidance, and trust. Each edition is cast in bronze using the lost-wax method and hand-finished in my studio to bring out the textures, weight, and emotion of the original. I wanted the piece to feel grounded and alive — to honour the deep bond between mother and child that transcends species. The sculpture measures 27 cm (L) x 12.5 cm (W) x 14 cm (H) and is mounted on a bronze base. This is a limited edition of 24. I am a self-taught South African artist whose work is inspired by Africa’s wildlife, landscapes, and people. My years as a safari guide gave me an intimate connection to the bush — a place that taught me everything I know about shape, form, and movement. You can’t sculpt what you don’t feel, and every moment spent observing wildlife offers a lesson in balance, grace, and presence. I am drawn to bronze — an ancient material with a living surface that changes, deepens, and gains character over time, much like the landscapes and creatures that inspire me. Each patina adds its own mood and individuality, ensuring every piece carries its own quiet story. My work ranges from bird, wildlife, figurative, abstract to African sculpture and bespoke sculptural furniture and lighting. Each piece is entirely handcrafted — sculpted, cast, chased, and patinated by me in my own foundry using the traditional lost-wax method. Every creation reflects Africa’s beauty, strength, and spirit — enduring in material and authentic in character.
