About the Work
This georgous sculpture is from a small edition size of 12 and is of a South African Rhino called Tyson. He was separated at birth from his mother sadly due to a complication. Now one year old, he has been raised at Ant Africa Safaris by wildlife manager Leanne Huber. His story inspired me to travel to South Africa to immortalise him in bronze.
