Jay Lloyd - Koa Bronze

Bronze sculpture Artist

"Bronze holds the same allure for me as it did for all those who have worked it for centuries"

"I like my work to have clean, simple lines, taking pride in the handcrafted nature of what I do. My skills have been honed by working with various metals over a period of more than thirty years. In 2010, I moved to Waiheke Island where I establish my studio and foundry, focusing on capturing the warmth and beauty of bronze for everyone to enjoy. My work includes everything from jewellery to sculptural pieces and is exhibited in New Zealand galleries and held in private collections throughout New Zealand, America, Europe and Asia.

The essence of nature around us can be expressed with simple clean lines and movement. I try to capture this essence, to evoke memories, without the complication of unnecessary detail." - Jay.
