She returned to read an English Degree at Queen's University Belfast, married and in her final year had twins! Over 20 years ago she began to model in clay, these were then cast in bronze. Rosi's travels took her around the world to see animals in their natural surroundings. Her aim is to catch the emotion, not just of the moment - but a feeling that the animal will go on doing what it has started to do when the viewer has left the room. The subjects are not just any animal but one with a specific personality and energy that inspires her. With the sale of each purchase there is a contribution to a charity that represents each animal. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/615d781423ebd81fb309e99a/1633515552093-8L82X16UN6POGQY2BOFN/portrait.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/615d781423ebd81fb309e99a/1633515552097-SBW4SGLO00WP9SYDDXSQ/portrait.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/615d781423ebd81fb309e99a/1633515552101-KSN3Q8BBL7Z81X323JKS/portrait.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/615d781423ebd81fb309e99a/1633515552105-XRDAHQO0L5KXL7S0K2RD/portrait.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/615d781423ebd81fb309e99a/1633515552108-144X7ZUEX7S5QPXZ28LY/portrait.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/615d781423ebd81fb309e99a/1633515552112-LCWQLNYYKJOL8A1UFF83/portrait.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/615d781423ebd81fb309e99a/1633619063821-7QID4XIUCKR0MY2L7MUX/animal-art-sculptures-handmade-model-figures-9.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/615d781423ebd81fb309e99a/1634551666601-TLPF26CUWXNNK6T5MK5B/animal-art-sculptures-handmade-model-figures-14.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/615d781423ebd81fb309e99a/1633619270885-8QRR252VFP4AUJACWRO4/animal-art-sculptures-handmade-model-figures-17.jpg About https://animalartsculpture.com/journal daily 0.75 2022-08-24 https://animalartsculpture.com/journal/hand-painted-endangered-grevys-zebra monthly 0.5 2022-08-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/615d781423ebd81fb309e99a/4cd0a58f-2896-46a3-aa9d-bd25de08580f/Zebra_s.jpg Journal - Hand painted endangered Grevys Zebra - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://animalartsculpture.com/journal/website-launched monthly 0.5 2021-10-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/615d781423ebd81fb309e99a/1633626501201-LSOSR3SBM28E4869K8JT/Bull+for+web2.jpg Journal - Website Launched https://animalartsculpture.com/journal/love-your-pet monthly 0.5 2021-10-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/615d781423ebd81fb309e99a/1633645742707-GJRJ64GXVMEC6BL4PF21/Thomas.jpg Journal - Love Your Pet? https://animalartsculpture.com/journal/wish-for-beauty-to-fill-a-space monthly 0.5 2021-10-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/615d781423ebd81fb309e99a/1633646070769-QTIGBLW81ZOMK61W8UAN/swan.jpg Journal - Wish For Beauty to Fill a Space? https://animalartsculpture.com/contact daily 0.75 2021-10-18 https://animalartsculpture.com/commissions daily 0.75 2021-11-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/615d781423ebd81fb309e99a/1633515585202-6KGZNYVPBUSMFBRW7ILB/image-asset.jpeg Commissions https://animalartsculpture.com/home daily 1.0 2021-11-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/615d781423ebd81fb309e99a/1633515547450-WS5YAHN7UOOACW1F0590/image-asset.octet-stream Home - Belgrade 2 Theatre Coventry https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/615d781423ebd81fb309e99a/1634551865671-H6K68G7E2280KRW0ZVW4/Bull+for+web2.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/615d781423ebd81fb309e99a/1633653920909-SW1P7DUBSV12K2HKLFX3/animal-art-sculptures-handmade-model-figures-11.jpg Home - Commissions If you have a pet, animal, or an idea of a bronze piece to fill a particular space, inside or outside please contact us and we will be happy to discuss it with you.

Inside they can be filled with newspaper or wool for example to fill the piece out. As the clay is worked it comes out of her hands and takes on its own spirit to become what it wants to be in a stance of its own making. The Armature is anchored onto a plywood base at a height that can be worked on. Rosi likes to work at twilight, as the dim light sets the piece free. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/615d781423ebd81fb309e99a/3f67ef0f-d489-4646-a5f4-daa1a5d0f22e/animal-art-sculptures-handmade-bronze-model-figures-bronze-bull.jpg Process - In the Foundry The clay model once completed is taken to the foundry to have a silicon mould made of it, Then a coat of plaster is put over it to fix it so that it doesn’t move. Then it is coated with as many layers of wax that it needs to make it strong but still hollow inside. It is then dipped and dusted with silica several times and left to harden. It is then put in a kiln at a very high temperature to melt the wax. The bronze is heated and poured into the mould with a process that minimised air bubbles so there are no blemishes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/615d781423ebd81fb309e99a/1633644384418-4RUGF4G22FMIDXSU26SU/animal-art-sculptures-handmade-model-figures-1.jpg Process - Finishing touches Once out of the kiln, the outer mould is broken off to reveal a compete copy of the work in shining bronze. For each piece a patina (like a glaze) can be applied to make the desired colour. Finally a wax polish is put on the final work. Larger pieces can be created by scaling up the original maquette.
