Artist's StatementLocal artist, Beth Kirby's studies in the life sciences have been a focus in her artistic medium. She enjoys capturing nature and the human form on both canvas and sculpture. Living in Surrey and now Cambridge has given her the opportunity to capture the beautiful scenery in both impressionist and contemporary styles. Her media use is broad from oils to acrylics and sculpture. She started painting at age 12 in oils with traditional methods and has moved into more free and contemporary expression in recent years. Recent press in Country Life and Vantage Point focusing on her Conker Sculpture. Beth also curates exhibitions and is the curator for The Mill Gallery in Elstead, Surrey and is on the management team for Cambridge Open Studios.

SCULPTURE
Both nature and the human form are captured in clay and then cold cast in bronze, iron or marble.
CONQUERED: This playful depiction of the conker evokes schoolyard game nostalgia. This is a larger version of one I first did which was featured in Country Life magazine which sold out. Available in bronze with verdigris finish on shell or in iron.
ARISTOTLE'S LANTERN: Aristotle’s Lantern is inspired by natural biological symmetry that was first drawn by Aristotle by the light of his five-sided horn lantern. Legend is that when the echinoderm (sand dollar, sea urchin) dies it dries up and five doves break away spreading peace to the world.
