(1974 - present)

Emma Rodgers works tirelessly in every sense of the word, her spare time is a commodity not in abundance , the standard of her work bears testament to the ability and conviction of the artist.  Good art is not a by product of good luck, rather hard work, and this is why Emma succeeds at what she does.  The quality of her sculptures, are evidence of her conviction, she captures a moment of life in the stillness of sculpture yet breathes life and movement into the piece and makes  bronze or ceramic suddenly come to life.

Emma has taught  workshops at the Frink school of Sculpture and St Anselems College.  She has shown at the Royal Academy Summer Show in 2002 and had her work displayed with the top names in British art today.  She has also exhibited at the Bruton Street Gallery in Mayfair, such is the demand for her work that top British museums and public galleries are starting to buy her work before it gets too expensive to do so.

In early 2004 the Lady Lever Art Gallery in Port Sunlight, Wirral purchased some of Emma's works for inclusion in their public collection.  These pieces are currently on display alongside works by Turner, Constable, Morland, Reynolds and one of the best Pre Raphaelite collections of art in Great Britain today.

Born on 2 June 1968 in Harrogate, North Yorkshire, Antony Sturgiss is the son of a Lancastrian mother and a Scottish naval petty officer assigned to the nuclear submarine initiative of the cold war.

Some time after attaining a BA (Hons) degree as a painter/printmaker, he borrowed a friend’s arc welder and started constructing sculpture from found objects. He had unwittingly become a “direct metal sculptor.” To his surprise and disbelief, people started buying these creations and the faint tendrils of his current career came into being.

This process and his abilities were fostered and encouraged, in part, by his very good friend and fellow sculptor, but primarily by his then girlfriend and now beautiful wife.

Antony is now a renowned metal sculptor who exhibits his work around the UK. His productions are detailed and unique, ranging from small objects for the home, office or garden patio to large structures designed to be a major feature within a larger garden, office atrium, company grounds, hotel, etc.

Antony works closely with his clients to produce each piece either from a stock catalogue or bespoke pieces to match the overall desired effect and impact.
