44 Public Art Kendra Haste 43

45 Kendra is a contemporary animal sculptor working with the medium of galvanized steel wire. Since graduating from the Royal College of Art in 1998, Kendra has established a significant reputation in her field with work included in collections world-wide. She is a member of the Society of Wildlife Artists (UK) and a signature member of the Society of Animal Artists (USA). What interests me most about studying animals is identifying the spirit and character of the individual creatures. I try to create a sense of the living, breathing subject in a static 3-D form, attempting to convey the emotional essence without indulging in the sentimental or anthropomorphic. She lives and works in Surrey, England. 44 Kendra Haste
