Art Submission

Taking Part in The Big Hop Trail

Clan Cancer Support, the north-east’s leading cancer support charity, partnered with Wild in Art to bring the art trail to the north-east, Moray, Orkney and Shetland.

“We chose the hare sculpture as they are an indigenous animal found in all parts of Clan’s geography. Much like our clients during their cancer journey, hares have to navigate rough and difficult terrain in order to survive. They are also adaptable, like our services team who deliver support to anyone affected by cancer. Most importantly, hares have incredible hearing. What better way to depict our lifeline listening and support service and the importance of being heard?”

We were asked to submit a design for the sculpture of a very large, 6 foot fiberglass hare.

My designs (see above) for the hare sculpture were submitted 9th December 2022 and presented to the commissioners and sponsors in January 2023. I was honoured to be selected along with 39 other artists to commission the Pictish Hare.
