2025 Exhibitors - Sculpture

Anya Beaumont is a visual artist based at Pound Arts who works with a range of materials and processes. Much of the material she uses is repurposed waste, selected for its physical properties. Concerns of contemporary life, both political and environmental, have increasingly influenced her work. 'Future Fossils’ and ‘Hopeful Monsters’ are current ongoing series. Bizarre, comical, even disturbing, the artist is confronting consumerism with humour and pathos whilst contemplating a future where material values are upended and what is currently waste is recognized as a valuable resource.

Cathy makes stone sculptures for gardens and homes, inspired mainly by natural forms and the human figure, using a variety of different stone.

I am a maker of wooden figurative and abstract sculptures based on life, experience, feeling and emotion. I chase the grain by carving, scorching, blasting, and creating large faces or strange curiosities from nature. My work justifies my existence, helps me express myself and find meaning. As a sculptor I evoke another time, creating a dreamscape, whilst sharing the beauty of wood that I am fortunate to see daily. With cross-cultural sources from my African birthplace to historical and contemporary Britain, I have always been drawn to ancient art and ritual.

Graham is a self-taught sculptor working predominantly in metal and wood. He spent much of his youth surrounded by artists and sculpture helping his Father who worked at Bath Academy of Art. After a career in IT, he returned to art as a hobby. As the sculptures filled his home and garden he was encouraged to share his work with a wider audience. Graham finds inspiration in “anything and everything”. He’s even been known to pause TV to take a photo of something which catches his eye and imagination.

I attended a Fine art degree the 1990's and have continued working as an artist. I make art that reflects my love of animals and colour. I am at present working on small sculptural pieces inspired by Staffordshire potteries well as watercolour, gouache and inks on Gesso boards. 3D Pet sculptures taken on commision.

I endeavour to capture the beauty of nature and the human form in sculpture and painting.
