Hamish Mackie
Hamish Mackie describes his bronze sculptures as coming from a traditional background; the original is closely observed from life & then cast into bronze. However, Hamish's method is loose and energetic, creating his own interpretation of the subject, which enables him to capture power and movement. Hamish has travelled to Lewa Wildlife Conservancy in Kenya where he sculpted the Elephant, Cheetah and Black Rhino. Hamish is one of the few sculptors who do their own patination at the Foundry.
Hamish Mackie, born in 1973 is largely self taught as a sculptor. He grew up on a farm in Cornwall and began sculpting at Radley College, before going on to study at Falmouth School of Art, and Kingston University. Mackie is a member of the Royal British Sculptural Society and has work in collections around the world. He works from his home in Oxfordshire where he lives with his wife Laura, daughter Isabella and dog, Pepper.
