A WHITE HERON BY FIONA SMITH

ITEM 151 SCULPTURE IN CONTEXT 2023

What the artist has to say about herself:

Self taught since my early years in Worcestershire, England. when as child I used to model horses and animals from the rich Worcestershire clay found in our garden.

When I was a teenager my family moved to Ireland, where we lived by the sea and kept horses. My first job as a young adult was as a Graphic Designer in Dublin.

Later on, when my own two boys were very young. I undertook a practical Bronze Casting course in the National College of Art and Design in Dublin. I have been exhibiting regularly for the past 25 years.

Galleries include: Solomon Gallery, Dublin, Trinity Gallery Dublin and Gormley’s Dublin.

Selected exhibitions include RHA Annual Exhibition; Sculpture in Context Botanical Gardens Dublin; Sculpture at Lyons, County Kildare; Wexford Opera Festival; Art in the Garden, Russborough House and and Art and Soul, Culloden Estate Belfast and Castlemartyr Cork

My work has also been shown in Galleries and Art fairs in England, Scotland and USA.

My inspiration comes from early naturalist illustrators such as Audubon and Bartram. And the beautiful wading birds which I see on my walks.

I now live and work County Meath.

ORIGIN BY ANA DUNCAN

by

CATALOGUE REFERENCE No 5

Over the years I have come to recognise Ana’s sculpture and I find her work to be attractive but this was somewhat different to what I have seen before (maybe because it is not bronze).

Ana Duncan was born in Dublin. She works primarily in bronze and ceramic from her studio in Churchtown. Though the female figure has been a subject of focus, a recent body of work was inspired by patterns and forms in the natural world. Her main influences are the work of Henry Moore, Barbara Hepworth, Botero, Picasso, F.E McWilliam, among others, and the simplicity of Brancusi.
