Some of Sue's bronzes

African Mother
This was the very first, made in a wooden hut with the help of my professor (Lippy Lipschitz).That I was carving wood at that time is clearly visible.
All my admiration for the integrity and beauty of my nanny as a child,is seen in this remembered portrait.
Over the years I have made 10 casts, each very different, all varying in colour, surface treatment and base.

Price from E 600

Louisa's first school day

In Dresden the first school day is really BIG, lots of people come and the children receive enormous Tuten , full of useful things for school and sweets..Here she is with the one Carolin and Ute made ..very complex with lots of horses..

In Cambridge Franc heroically cleared her little house so that I could exhibit in two rooms.
The economic situation was certainly a factor..and all the work was appreciated by my visitors, but I just covered my costs, so will not be repeating things. Caroline came from London, Margié from Bedford..

Wedding sculpture

Nancy Checchia asked me to make a sculpture from a photo for her sister's wedding. I made two, took them to Cottenham for her to choose and she chose the brown one.
She was pleased.

Days in Huesca

I spent five marvellous days with William's family in Huesca, northern Spain, drawing his marriage to Cristina. The day after (having got up at five to finish the work and put them in an album) they opened the presents with us all watching. You can see what a great occaision it was.
