Public Commissions
In addition to his celebrated wildlife subjects, Anthony is also highly accomplished in sculpting the human figure. He is widely recognised for his finely observed and accurate portraits of great scientists and explorers.
His works have been commissioned by esteemed institutions including the Linnean Society of London, the National Botanic Garden of Wales, and Cambridge’s Sedgwick Museum.
Among his notable achievements are designing and sculpting a new two-pound coin for general circulation in the United Kingdom; creating a statue of Alfred Russel Wallace for the Natural History Museum, London (unveiled by Sir David Attenborough); a statue of Charles Darwin for Cambridge University (unveiled by HRH Prince Philip); and a portrait bust of Sir Ernest Shackleton for the South Georgia Museum.

Wildlife Commissions
Anthony regularly undertakes commissions to create original wildlife bronze sculptures for private clients. Many of these pieces are inspired by his own encounters with wildlife, while others are commissioned to celebrate a special memory or photograph provided by the client — as was the case with the Gentoo Penguin sculpture shown to the right.
Anthony is always delighted to discuss the exciting possibilities of commissioning a bespoke wildlife sculpture.
