Welcome to my 2011 exhibition. The last one was in 2002 and since then I have been working almost exclusively on commissions. Following my first life-size bronze of Red Rum at Aintree in 1987, I am now on my 26th, the latest being Oaks winner Sariska for Lady Bamford which is still under construction. Earlier this year I completed a large work of Dar Re Mi for Lady Lloyd Webber. Other work in the UK since 2002 include the lifesizes of Persian Punch at Newmarket racecourse and Best Mate at Lockinge and Cheltenham race- course.

Further afield a large sculpture in Malaysia was followed by an 18-foot high statue of a stallion for a prominent site in Saudi Arabia, which in turn was followed by a 11⁄4-size bronze of multiple Melbourne cup winner Makybe Diva for Flemington Racecourse, Australia. So I have been kept busy and an exhibition was overdue, and I have really enjoyed creating this body of work. Having experienced first hand the benefits of banking with Weatherbys, I am thrilled with their association with this exhibition. My thanks to them, and I am delighted to have a show once again with the Tryon Gallery.
