Shane was born in Somerset and spent the early part of his working life specialising in furniture-making in London and Europe.  He then diversified into the more detailed area of Celtic Art, producing beautifully painted Mandalas and jewellery.

His interest in metal came to the fore, and Shane now owns and runs a bronze foundry in Somerset and sculpts his own work in bronze. He specialises in patinised bronzes of nature-based subjects for galleries across the UK and America, and also produces private bronze commissions for a wide range of artists.

He originally worked in graphic design where his interest in ornament was fostered.

This bronze is hot cast  in high grade solid bronze in a professional British foundry using the lost-wax method to produce exceptional quality. Each bronze is hand finished using traditional methods of patination. 

Lost-wax casting (also known as ‘Investment Casting’ or ‘Precision Casting’) dates back to the Chalcolithic period (4500-3500 BCE). The process allows for the casting of intricate and exquisite pieces.
