Abbey Evans
Mediums Used
Abbey Evans is a truly remarkable self taught artist producing one off fine bird sculptures using his highly skilled metal craft techniques from a career of repairing aircraft. After a life long passion for wood carving, willow sculpture and nature, the natural progression into metals particularly old copper, has produced a marvelous collection of fine bird sculptures.
The passing years have been instrumental in my realisation of the highly satisfying experience gained from creating objects of art.
