| Vanessa Pooley cuts a diminutive figure in her studio, standing alongside dozens of her trademark sculptures: models of distinctly curvaceous women on which her reputation as one of the UK’s leading sculptors has been built. Arts East |

Thank you for my lovely, lovely ‘Dancer’. She is stunning and I love looking at her every day. Client who bought from a recent London show |

‘Mother and Child’… is a world apart, a fullstop: a portrayal of intimacy so strong that you catch your breath. Telegraph Magazine |
I've always loved the shape of the female body...
Ever since I was small I've wanted to work from the female figure. As a child I remember playing with handfuls of clay found on the beaches in Suffolk and the satisfaction I had from moulding the soft sticky lumps into shape.
I still use clay to create my sculptures because the responsiveness of the material allows me to play with the forms until they feel right. I know a sculpture is finished when it suddenly becomes a presence in the world. Now, here I am, specialising in figurative bronze sculptures and still enjoying playing with the shapes, again and again.
People say my sculptures make them happy...
My bronze sculptures tend to be in series. The Mother and Child series celebrates one of the most wonderful experiences of life - having children. More recently I have started the Dancer series, sculptures which explore movement inspired by the ballet The Nutcracker.
My latest group of work is about hugging or snuggling up - but the figures are without arms. Exploring the bond between two figures that do not need to hold on to each other...
Choosing bronze sculptures
You will find details of these pieces and the rest of my work on the Gallery pages of this website and if you like them, I hope you'll leave me a message via the contact page. I love hearing what people think of the work and the positive feedback I get from people who enjoy my sculptures encourages me tremendously.
If you would like to see the work, you would be welcome to make a visit to my studio, which is in Norwich, in the eastern corner of the UK. Just get in touch to arrange an appointment.
