2024 List of Sculptors
(First name alphabetical order)
Alex Figgis
A metal sculptor from Sydney’s Northern Beaches. Highly creative from an early age, Alex’s art really started to develop after pursuing a career in metal fabrication and welding. With the ability to join and shape metal combined with an endless supply of discarded steel waste Alex started small, creating whimsical garden ornaments which quickly progressed into fine art sculptures that have been featured in public exhibitions and added to private art collections Australia wide.
Anthony Nelipa
Amanda Harrison
Transforming my passion for sculpture from a hobby into a career was my lightbulb moment – I had found my calling!
My previous careers taught me to seek simplicity – good writing depends on editing all parts not essential to a story, and good graphic design depends on clean, simple presentation. These philosophies now form the basis of my sculptural style. I love searching for the essential elements of a simplified form – especially the human form – through the interaction of shape, line and space. I also love exploring surface texture and patterns, markings that can highlight the shape of the piece, and give it depth and personality. Texture also gives a piece a ‘made-by-hand’ statement, important in a world awash with mass-produced goods.
Background
Amanda completed a Certificate of Sculpture at the Kensington and Chelsea College, London, and has built her practice through many studio workshops and TAFE courses in Sydney, working under the guidance of well-known artists. Other formal studies include a BA in film and scriptwriting and a graphic design diploma, both in Sydney.
She has exhibited widely and been accepted into numerous competitions, including Ravenswood Women Art Prize. She has won many awards, recently winning the Acquisitive Prize for Small Sculpture at Sculpture in the Gardens, Mudgee and the Abstract Sculpture Prize at Royal Arts Show, Sydney. Other recent awards include the Acquisitive Prize at Sculpture Bermagui, and Emerging Artist Award at Sculpture for Clyde, Batemans Bay.
Amanda is currently on the committee for The Sculptors Society, and convenor of the Greenwich Village Arts Trail in northern Sydney, for the last 10 years.

Gary Christian
A distinguished Australian sculptor and painter based in Jamberoo, NSW. Born in Melbourne, he studied at the Prahran College of Art before moving to Sydney in the 1980s, and later relocating to the countryside of New South Wales, which marked a definitive shift in his creative process. His work typically responds to the often forgotten but ever present connection that human beings have with nature. He participates in a uniquely Australian dialogue with the land, raising questions about the past, present and future. Christian seeks to capture the fragility of remembered moments and elusive experiences of place, which he recognises as fluid rather than fixed.
Christian initially made his sculptures from wood and later began adding steel. He has undertaken many sculpture commissions, including ’Figures in the Landscape’’, for Mount Annan Botanic Gardens, and ‘The Atomic Family’, for The University of Western Sydney. He has had 17 solo exhibitions in Australia, including in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Canberra and Hobart.

George Andric
1960 Born in Yorketown, South Australia, George Andric is a South Australian artist who uses sculpture to explore the patterns of nature and rhythms of our human existence. His practice is based on a constantly living principle and method of construction which deals with the way complex forms arise from simple elements.
The sculptures that he creates are made up of an arrangement of basic units, allowing him to examine the dynamic relationship between the simple and the complex, between the material and the void, between the viewer and the object and particularly, between structure and form.
As an artist, George strives to find some sense of order that is independent of the world that presents itself to him, which at times can be deceptive and illusory.
George completed a Bachelor of Visual Arts, University of South Australia (SA School of Art) in 1991.

I am locally known for many murals on public facilities around my local area, some solo but many created with my students. My work is represented in permanent collections in Japan, Canada and England as well as included in Australian Pottery in Bemboka.
Influences and Inspiration
My artwork is essentially about human experience and personal illumination. Clay is my preferred medium. I love the versatility of the medium and glazing and firing techniques as well as the transformation from pliable to permanent. I am intrigued and challenged by how the slightest mark can influence the entire character of a piece and I love the thrill of opening a still warm kiln.
I work three-dimensionally and thematically on particular issues that I empathise with and sometimes my work can be hard hitting and confrontational. However, because I value a sense of humour, I often try to combine both. I like to ‘plant a seed’ rather than ‘point the finger’. I find this helps me to maintain my equanimity with both the world’s challenges and its beauties.

Ken started exhibiting as an anonymous guerrilla artist with sculptures placed in public areas but has found the anonymity hard to maintain.
Leo Loomans
Lex Sorrentino

Nicole O’Regan
Nicole spent the first 17years of her career as a steel fabricator on an industrial scale. Projects included structural skeletal framework for large
domestic buildings, commercial buildings and difficult, complex structures. Her career has naturally merged into creating art, mostly sculpture.
Inherently Nicole’s sculptures were predominately steel. In her the pursuit of creating sculptures that are unique, never been done before Nicole has been incorporating rocks in her work. The formation of the rocks is how they are found. Spending many hours searching for the right shapes and scale. Then carefully weaving steel around the natural contours and structure to create the form.
Nicole exhibits her work in wide ranging practice from the city to regional and rural exhibitions including Defiance Gallery miniature show, Paddington, Bathurst regional art Gallery, Lake Light Sculpture Jindabyne, Orange Regional Gallery, Sawmillers at McMahon’s point, HIDDEN Rookwood, North Sydney art prize, finalist Mudgee portrait prize just to name a few. And most recently won a major acquisition prize at Sculpture in the Garden Mudgee, the stone award Sculpture on the Farm Dungog and major prize at Sculptures at Scratchley Newcastle.
Nicole lives on a remote property in the high altitude locality of Hampton. She has been a resident of the Hampton district for over 20 years. She loves the community here and the support from the people.

Paul Bradley
Paul Dimmer
A sculptor since age ten, Paul has worked in many mediums, but is now working mainly in corten, mild steel, stainless steel, and copper.
Ralph Tikerpae
I am not limited to one media – I both paint and sculpt. I sculpt in large and small scale. I believe that my metal sculptures operate on different levels of the subconscious. I have always enjoyed the element of chance found within the construction of metal sculpture and believe in the resurfacing of past lives through an artist’s subconscious trance when creating art. I hope that when people see my art they recognize something that they already subconsciously recognise. Something familiar but which had been forgotten.
I sculpt in a variety of media both subtractive and additive, but I particularly enjoy changing the element of poetry within my pre-loved metal. My sculpture tries to pare images to a basic element or essence and has been called drawing in space. These metal sculptures explore the actions of humanity from social events to domestic farces. They include theatrical elements or icons where symbols become players on a stage. My work also combines elements of time and position overlapped with positive and negative elements.
Richard Barrett
Canberra Based sculptor, Richard Barrett, has been working in recycled steel since 2018. Richard takes inspiration from the dynamic shapes found in discarded materials, and loves to wander through scrap yards and recycling centres to find treasures.
Richard enjoys co-creating work with customers, to engage them in the creative practice and enable them to proudly announce to family and friends: “I made that!”.
Richard encourages creativity as a part of a healthy mind and body, and his work engages with contemporary issues or challenges facing society, such as artificial intelligence, natural disasters or social justice.
But sometimes he just likes to make nice shapes.
Ross Cameron
As an artist based in Tanja on the New South Wales Far South Coast, I hold a Bachelor of Visual Arts with a major in Sculpture from the Australian National University School of Art, under the guidance of head lecturers Ron Robertson-Swann and Ante Dabro.
To me, a successful work is one that reflects, resonates, and reconnects the viewer to a personal truth, meaningful only to themselves. It is this profound philosophy that drives my creative endeavors.
My artistic exploration revolves around the primal, innate emotions, and connections that may have become obscured or lost in our modern society. Through my art, I strive to reignite these deep-rooted human experiences, allowing viewers to reconnect with their own personal truths.
In recent years, I have delved deeply into the concept of this “primal connection,” exploring it through a diverse range of materials. My works incorporate primitive glyph elements that evoke powerful emotional responses in those who engage with them.
The transformative power of scale holds great fascination for me. Often, I start by creating small models and ideas, envisioning them on a grander scale. It is remarkable how dramatically objects and landscapes change when magnified. This enlargement grants them an essence that surpasses ordinary dimensions, establishing a new dialogue between the viewer, myself, and the surrounding environment.
My artistic journey began in a creatively vibrant environment at a young age. Plasticine, with its infinite malleability, has remained a medium I continue to experiment with and allow ideas to emerge. Figurative aspects and relationships between elements frequently find their way into my work, showcasing my ongoing exploration of the human experience.
Ultimately, my artistic pursuit aims to transport viewers to a realm where they can reconnect with their primal selves, uncovering profound truths that resonate deeply within them. Through my sculptures, I aspire to facilitate a personal and transformative experience for each individual who engages with my art, reflecting, resonating, and reconnecting them to their own unique and meaningful personal truths
Ruth Lupton

Nature theme’s therefore feature commonly in her work. Moving to the city of Sydney as an adult, Ruth embraced modern culture and studied a Bachelor of Fine Arts at The National Art School, majoring in Sculpture. Art history has been another influence in her work, from European architecture and sculpture.

Susan McAlister
An independent Artist. Susan acquired a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the National Art School in Darlinghurst, Sydney NSW with majors in Sculpture, Drawing and Art History. Her practice encompasses watercolour, acrylic painting, and sculpture.
Susan enjoys working with clay for its malleability, strength, and expressiveness,
She sees the sculptural form is a means for meditation as it speaks without the use of words. When she finds inspiration, she starts working sometimes drawing first whilst other times working in a completely intuitive way letting the work guide the narrative and the outcome.

Thomas Westra
Born 1970 in Canberra and started his working life in the field of industrial electronics. However, at the time Thomas felt that his work was lacking in possibilities for creative expression. A change was needed and a decision was made to take 12 months ‘off’ to focus on finding creative passions in life. It was during this time he discovered the art of forging hot metal and found sculpting it to be most exciting with endless possibilities. This has led has led to a 27 year journey of exploration and a self taught deep understanding of the medium.
Throughout this period over 10000 individual metal creations based on the form of a lizard have been “hatched” each instilled with life and movement while also completing sculptures based on more personal themes.
His work aims to evoke a positive state of mind with both the observer and himself while creating. In 2017 Thomas was commissioned by Keggins, a Canberra-based property developer to create ‘Sapphire’. This sculpture celebrated the launch of their collection of prestigious residences on Kingston Foreshore Peninsula, Canberra.
He was also the 2020 Sculpture Bermagui Major Prize winner and People’s Choice winner for ‘Landed’. In order to push the boundaries achievable with metal forming and be able to realise larger sculptural concepts his practice includes a focus on combining knowledge in art, electronics, software and engineering.
By developing bespoke processes, Thomas can expand his creative capabilities and produce work that is unique, innovative and expressive.
