Hand made in the industrial heart of the West Midlands by a long established foundry using the ancient lost wax method of production. This has been the choice for hot cast sculpture for thousand of years.

Louise is a native of Darlington, England. She trained in classical ballet in London and performed with the Israel Ballet in Tel Aviv. Her dance experience helped shape her love of figurative sculpture. She moved to the United States in 1984 and began to study clay modeling ten years later at Santa Monica College. Louise learned to sculpt with the human figure but after moving to the rural mountains of Colorado in 1998 the only model in her small studio was her Great Dane. What results are fine classical renderings of dogs that are often both humorous and elegant.

Since 2001 Louise?s sculptures have received over ninety awards including four Best in Shows. Her sculptures are in the museum collections of Brookgreen Gardens, The Wildlife Experience, The Dunnegan Gallery of Fine Art, the AKC Museum of the Dog and the Woodson Art Museum. Her life size Great Danes are in the public collections of Benson Sculpture Garden and the cities of Colorado Springs and Northglenn in Colorado, the cities of Greenville, South Carolina and Sheridan, Wyoming. Louise is an elected member of the National Sculpture Society, the Society of Animal Artists, Allied Artists of America, the National Sculptors? Guild, Miniature Painters, Sculptors and Gravers and Catherine Lorillard Wolfe Art Club.
