In the 1990's Georgie Welch studied art & design at Bournville before transferring to a purely sculptural course, also spending a valuable period working under an established equine sculptor.  From 1996 onwards she has worked solely as a figurative sculptor specialising in equine and canine subject matter.

 

Georgie Welch says of her work - "Sculpting the equestrian and canine form has been my focus for the last fifteen years.  Where possible I prefer to sculpt directly from life, and I aim to highlight the natural qualities of the chosen animal.  By tuning in to these qualities I am able to identify the spirit of the character in question.  All of my work is cast in the 'lost-wax' technique.  Editions are small, ranging from unique to a run of no more than twenty one."
