Christy Bowdler.
Metal Sculptor.
Christy Bowdler
is a Black-Smith whose sculptures not only represent animals and
birds but also human figures. Whilst ensuring that their three
dimensional form conveys the identity of the species she gently
abstracts the image to allow a special relationship to develop
between the object and the viewer.
Of particular
emphasis are the wonderfully shaped birds,
either soaring high above the horizon or fettling around in the
ground.
Christy
studied at the Hereford College of Art,
specialising in artistic ironwork and restoration. Upon leaving
college she had various jobs, from milking cows and lambing sheep
to laying industrial floors. In 1998, with the
encouragement of friends and family she returned to blacksmithing
and started her own business in the little village of Cleobury
North. She works in a picturesque two hundred
year old Smithy and lives happily on the slopes of the Brown
Clee hill with one man and several dogs.
