About The Artists
Michael Talbot
Michael Talbot was born in Staffordshire in 1959. He obtained an
honours degree from Staffordshire University in 1980. He went on to
postgraduate study at the Royal Academy School in London where he won
the prestigious Landseer Prize. Michael is primarily a sculptor of the
human image, specialising in portrait and figurative sculpture. His work
is widely collected and he is perhaps, best known for his study of
beauty in the female form. Michael was elected to the Royal Society of
British Sculptors in 1994 and is a former council member of the Society
of Portrait Sculptors. |
Ronald Cameron
Ronald Cameron is a Londoner of Scots extraction. He graduated from
Camberwell Art College in 1951 with a diploma in sculpture. During his
long career he has worked in many fields of 3D art, producing sculpture
commissions from life size bronzes to miniatures in gold and silver.
More recently he has concentrated his talents on the classical theme of
the female nude figure which he presents in a modern manner, designed to
portray the poise and confidence of the dynamic young woman of today.
Ronald Cameron now has an established international reputation and his
sculptures are widely collected. |
David Geenty
David was born in Blackpool in 1945, but when he was only two years
old, his parents immigrated to South Africa. When David was seventeen he
met and studied under an outstanding South African sculptor, Moses
Kotler. Geenty believes that it was Kotler who most influenced his
formative years and that it is to his tuition that he largely owes his
great animalier talents and techniques. Today Geenty has returned to
England and has his studio in the Cotswolds. |
Tom Mackie
Born in Edinburgh in 1939, Tom attended Leith Academy and has lived in
the Scottish Highlands since 1968. He began modelling for Heredities in
1976. With natural talent in abundance, he has deveolped his own special
technique for modeling wildlife sculptures which are seriously detailed
and lifelike with a wonderful movement, unique to Tom's style. |
Jean Spouse
Born in Hartlepool in 1949, Jean Spouse studied design at Lanercost
Craft Centre. Always a keen naturalist, Jean spent many years as a
volunteer worker for RSPB. Jean shows an interest in dogs of almost
every kind, something which becomes very evident in her work, most
notably when you consider some of the pieces she has created for
Heredities. |
Roland Chadwick
Born in 1925, trained in drawing and painting under Bernard Meninsky
and Ruskin Spear, RA at Londons Central School of Arts and Crafts.
Rolands first career was in book design and illustration, during which
time he tried his occasional hand at wood carving. He was forty before
he turned to modelling. A model he was sharing with a sculptor friend
threw a ball of clay at him for fun, from which he sat and made a rough
'sketch' of her, was 'hooked' and gradually turned to full time
professional figure work in clay. Under the spells of Maillol and Rodin,
the nude figure has remained his forte. |
Alan Maslankowski
Despite his exotic name, Alan Maslankowski was born in Stoke-on-Trent
in 1952 and is a true and talented product of the Potteries. While still
at school he was offered and accepted an apprenticeship at Royal
Doulton. Through the Aegis of this company he was able to study for 5
years at London College of Art, specialising, not unnaturally, in design
and art modelling. Fully qualified, he finally left Royal Doulton to
exploit his undoubted talentin a freelance capacity. He now lives and
works in the Potteries, producing works of substantial technical
excellence and notable creative beauty. |
Pauline Parsons
Pauline Parsons was born in Blackpool in 1947 and studied art at the
much renowned Harris Art School in Preston. From there she qualified for
the Manchester College of Art where she graduated with honours in 1968.
Since then she has worked in the widest range of artistic media, but
always with a concentration on life-class work. Her human studies,
particularly her chid studies, show a deep perception both of form and
emotion. |
Colin Downes
Born in Ipswich, with a colourful childhood and within the bosom of a
slightly eccentric family during the 1960's, Colin found escape in
drawing and illustration. He ultimately pursued this interest through
Art College where he found his true creative expression in 3D form and
pottery. With BA honours and Masters degrees in 3D Desig and Ceramics
from Staffordshire University, Colin has many years working for major
manufacturers of pottery and artwares. Inspired by many iconic art
design fashion and cultural movements of the 20th century he combines
innovative ideas with craft sensibilities to create unique,
sophisticated and beautiful art objects for the home. |
Steve Finney
Born in 1957 in Stoke-on-Trent, Steve currently resides in the Irish
Midlands. As an enthusiastic young man from a hot-bed of design and
pottery culture, he bacame a self taught designer of many talents. Not
limited by the boundaries of specific themes, steve has a varied and
very interesting portfolio, some of which can be seen throughout the
Heredities range. |
Carl Payne
Carl's background in design gained momentum following his time spent at
the Burslem College of Art, before moving on to Stafford College where
he qualified in figurative sculpture. Experience in figure painting and
as an aerographic artist have afforded Carl a well rounded skill base,
and his work endeavours to reach for new heights as he continues to push
the boundaries of his talents. A gifted and enthusiastic sculptor,
Carl's skills encompass everything from life-size bronze public works
through to sensitive studies of form across a variety of mediums. His
dedication and passion for his work and attention to detail makes Carl
one of the outstanding craftsmen in the field of figurine design. |
