Inspired by the flash of beauty that is the Kingfisher - the Kingfisher in Flight Sculpture project has started to gather momentum.

Thanks to the fabulous images taken by so many photographers who kindly Tweet and share, Joel will start to make the armature to be the Kingfisher in Flight sculpture.

Accurate life sized details and reference to those studying this iconic bird.... the project unfolds.

If you have images of kingfishers  (Alcedo atthis) in flight please contract Joel via  artanew@hotmail.com

Shout out for images of Apus Apus the Swift

If you have images of the Swift in flight, and particularly breeding birds landing  - please do contact the Sculptress JOEL to help her in her research to achieve a close likeness for the new statues.

If you are happy for the images to be placed on the web, your images will be attributed when used (unless you prefer anonymity).
Thank you

The first of the sculpture portraits of Swifts (Apus Apus) in flight have been made and cast. The next pose will be of the bird landing.

The first Bronze Swifts have already begun to raise awareness of the need to help save and conserve this bird.

Bird Sculpture

for  bird sculpture


The Sculptress JOEL is famous for detailed portraits of people and animals,  and makes bird sculptures with all the attention to the accuracy for different species.

She is starting to make new sculptures and statues of birds to highlight the need for nature conservation and the new project  is seeking support to celebrate  and save the Swift  - Apus Apus - the astonishing bird of northern summer skies famous for  only landing to raise their young.

Many of her bird sculptures are suitable for  gifts, table top sized, as well as  large designs for gardens and other open spaces and life sized sculptures of certain varieties.

 These make spectacular features for gardens and  courtyards.

If you  would like to help support the new Swift project or would like to commission a particular design or type,  contact the Sculptress JOEL at the Tenon Studio.

More Bronze Swallows on the Wing!

The beautiful depiction of Swallows in flight by the Sculptress JOEL has now been formed into a dramatic statue of five of these lovely birds in flight together.

Selected for  the Sculpture Park at Churt, UK

You can see the different wing positions - JOEL is currently working on a Swallow sculpture with  the iconic 'wing tip - back' seen only in this species.

 Your own Bird Sculpture could be made for you bespoke
