Terry Mathews born 1931, raised in Uganda and Kenya
and some schooling in England. He has always since early
childhood had an interest in the wildlife amongst which
he has lived. From 1949 working in Kenya in many of
the wildlife areas as a surveyor, 1956 saw a change
into the Safari Industry as a Professional Hunter and
guide.
Always as a hobby sketching, photographing and just
observing all the animals and birds that share this
habitat. Naturally when an injury caused him to quit
the hunting field it was a natural progression to create
in three dimensions and from there to have these models
cast into bronze. This material has so many advantages
for wildlife sculptures as its strength and malleability
allow for the artist to capture the movement that he
requires and modern patination techniques help to supply
the colour to complete the finished sculpture.
