The Albert Memorial - Europe

2013 - Kensington Gardens, The Royal Parks, London, W1, UK

Katherine restored the marble statues on the continent of Europe. She made wax and polystyrene models to help her with the carving and to show the architect. She repaired the statues by carving and installing new fingers, finger tips, thumbs and staffs in Campanella white Carrara; chosen for its hard wearing nature.

She was also made head carver, see testimonial letter for her duties on this project.

The four continents, Europe, America, Africa and Asia surround the memorial at each corner with large figures carved in marble of humans and animals.

Katherine has restored and repaired London's most prestigious statues and monuments; carving large heraldic shields, beasts and figurative sculptures. She believes realism is the hardest art form to carve in uncompromising stone. On taking on a figurative commission (animal or human) she will study the subject producing a model prior to carving it in stone. She also studies modelling from the human figure and takes adult college courses for her professional development.

She also repairs sculptures, makes statues and carves new heraldic statues.
