March 2016
Two decades ago, I made two large humpback whales with their calves. One lives in Japan and the other went to Australia. I made numerous smaller ones that were very successful.
Around July of 2015, I decided the time was right to produce new large whales.
After months of development and long enjoyable hours in the studio, I was very pleased to produce the new female humpback with her calf you see here.
The bronze stand is evocative of the body and tail of the thresher shark with its long graceful curve.
The base is of native timber and is laser engraved with all details.
They have received extremely positive reviews and the excellent Gallery Pacific in Queen St, Auckland has them on prominent display.
These whales will be produced to a limited edition of 30 pieces.
The sculpture including the base stands around 400mm high and is about the same in length.
I custom make a box for each piece so it may be freighted anywhere around the globe.

April 2017
Over May 2016, both of these sculptures were  sold from Gallery Pacific in Queen St, Auckland.
Edition One went to China and Edition Two to a Auckland couple.
Three more were supplied to the gallery over subsequent months which are shown below in my studio.
Edition Two went to Hong Kong during December 2016 and Edition Four traveled to China during April 2017.
Edition Three is currently in Gallery Pacific.
A new bull whale is now available. [see below]

July 2017.
New bull humpback completed and placed in Gallery Pacific. He is bigger in body size with different markings and posture to the female. The base is more stylized than the female in that it represents three aspects of marine life: the 5 pointed sea star, the head and fins of a shark and the long elegant tail of the thresher which I also represented in the stand for the female .
