King George II statue

2013 - Covent Garden, Golden Square, London, W1, UK.

Katherine repaired the statue with a new forearm and hand in Portland stone. It was damaged during World War II and replaced in the 1950's. English Heritage were not happy with the 50's restoration and ordered a new replacement. The nose was also recarved and Katherine had to get the right balance installing a new nose on a very weathered head.

To help her with the carving she made a clay model and plaster waste mould.

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.
