Delighted to see one of our artists Stephanie Hess selected as a finalist in The David Shepherd Wildlife Artist of the Year is an internationally acclaimed competition, often referred to as " the Oscars of international wildlife art". This event showcases and celebrates the very best in wildlife art while raising awareness and vital funds for conservation.
50% of all proceeds from sale supports the David Shepherd Wildlife Foundation and their conservation partners across Africa and Asia. Together, they fight wildlife crime and protect endangered species from the frontline action to global policy.
This year nearly 1500 works from 60 countries were submitted for the competition, of which 164 were selected by the judging panel as finalists.
These selected artworks will be exhibited at the Mall Galleries London from September 8th - 12th.
Stephanies bronze piece "Polaris" has been selected as a finalist. Here`s a little bit about it:
"The North Star has been a guiding light to countless millennia of souls navigating their way throughout the world. It is a fixed bright point in the sky that promises safe harbor on a journey. Also known as the Pole Star, it is part of the Ursa Minor constellation. The Polar bears are symbolic, not only of the star "Polaris", but also of the special relationship between the young and innocent looking to an older, strong protector who guides the way. The unique patina represents the glacial world they inhabit"

An angel hidden in a Victorian garden.
This striking garden angel by Irish artist Mike Duhan feels perfectly at home among the greenery of the Sunken Victorian Gardens at The Montenotte Hotel in Cork.
Part of Duhan’s outdoor sculpture exhibition at the hotel, the bronze figure seems almost to emerge from the garden itself its weathered green patina echoing the leaves around it, while those extraordinary wings draw your eye upwards.
Art, nature and a little bit of magic in one of Cork’s most beautiful garden settings.
The exhibition is open daily.

Imagine a piece of sculpture becoming part of your garden emerging through planting, framed by grasses and changing with the light and seasons.
An exhibition of Mike Duhan’s figurative sculpture is now on view at The Montenotte Hotel, Cork, with a collection of expressive bronze works created for both garden and outdoor settings.
These pieces bring movement, character and a human presence into the landscape. Whether set among ornamental grasses and perennial planting, positioned beside a terrace, or used as a focal point within a contemporary garden design, sculpture can completely change how an outdoor space feels.
The exhibition is open daily at The Montenotte Hotel and is a wonderful opportunity to see Mike Duhan’s work in a garden setting and discover how sculpture could work within your own landscape.
If you’re planning a garden, redesigning an outdoor space, or looking for that one distinctive piece to complete it, come and explore the exhibition.

You might not expect to find this in a Cork hotel,
Irish sculptor Mike Duhan’s expressive figures have transformed the gardens of The Montenotte into an open-air sculpture exhibition.
Bodies stretch, balance, dance and connect each piece capturing a moment of movement in bronze.
