Miniature Bronze Mouse in Conker Sculpture

A tiny bronze mouse sleeping inside an empty horse chestnut shell. Please do study the pictures carefully, especially the ones with hands/fingers in. This really is the TINIEST little rodent we've ever seen sculpted and hot cast in solid bronze. Both the shell and the weeny mouse are freestanding. Turn the mouse over in the horse chestnut shell and it's been cleverly crafted to look like a tiny conker.

This sculpture comes in a little drawstring bag, perfect for gift-giving, and will be sent to you in a cardboard mailing box for protection.

Art has always been a part of my life. In fact, I've been drawing, painting and sculpting for as long as I can remember. I've been sculpting professionally for more than 20 years, starting my career in the pewter, giftware and retail sectors before specializing in bronze. I consider myself very lucky to be doing what I do. I get a great sense of relaxation and happiness when I'm sculpting; nothing else exists in that moment. As a regular exhibitor at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show I have sold to an array of customers, including royalty from the UK and overseas. I'm thankful that my work has found homes all over the world. It's very gratifying to know my collectors get the same pleasure from owning my work as I do from creating it.

With my recent relocation to Norfolk I am continually inspired by the nature that surrounds me, which is a huge influence in my bronze designs. My love for nature has led me to travel throughout Africa, Asia and North Ameria, all of which have helped to shape my work in both realistic and abstract ways.
