Lot 104: SOLD 'Resurrection' by Polly Morgan

Lot 137: SOLD 'Polar Bear Ballet' by Odile Kidd
Polar bears are my favourite animal. I love the contrast of their somewhat bulky, cumbersome body on land and their wonderfully balletic, graceful movements underwater. Polar bears are endangered and they need to be celebrated in all their glory!

Lot 17: 'The Great Eggscape' by Alex Williams
At this time of year everything seems to be hatching, emerging from the chill of winter and creating new life.

Lot 32: 'Our Brood' by Clare Bassett
When I initially saw this egg, the first thing that came to my mind was the wonderful cycle of life. I wanted an image which was both playful and child-centric. The result: there is no egg without the chicken! Or is there?
