Michael Simpson

Michael Simpson is an internationally renowned sculptor celebrated for his dynamic bronze works that capture the charm and energy of domestic animals, birds and wildlife. His lifelong fascination with animal behaviour, combined with exceptional artistic skill, results in tactile, expressive sculptures.

Born in Stoke-on-Trent, known as "The Potteries" for its rich ceramics heritage, Michael's passion for sculpture was shaped by his surroundings. He studied fine art at Staffordshire before refining his craft in wax and clay, later casting in bronze.

Michael’s work has gained global recognition, with collectors worldwide, including celebrities like Tom Jones. He has collaborated with artists such as David Shepherd and has donated pieces to charities like the David Shepherd Wildlife Foundation and Starlight Children's Foundation.

Deeply connected to his medium, Michael appreciates the timeless tradition of bronze casting, a practice unchanged since ancient Greece, Egypt and Rome, lending his contemporary sculptures a sense of enduring legacy.
