When installing the exhibition it's sharp beak even sliced the hand of the technician, as if to prove it's vicious nature.

In line with her interest in athletics, her new works include a trio of sprinters inspired by London Olympics 2012, as well as a duo of cyclists, inspired by her recent experiences on cycling tracks.

The exhibition covers her various subjects of interest, such as birds of prey, dancers and cats to name a few.In recent years she has also begun making more abstract pieces which explore elemental themes, such as the flow of water and fire. These works compliment her figurative sculptures

Earlier this year and also inspired by the 2012
Olympic games, she completed a large scale commission (8.5m high) for a major
roundabout in Milton Keynes based on the gold medal winning long jump of Greg
Rutherford.
