HAPPY NEW YEAR
Tanya has become well known over the last 35 years for her life-like and vibrant animal sculptures. For Tanya, her practice is not only about capturing the animals she sculpts with marks and movement - it is about our relationships with those animals and their welfare.
Tanya apprenticed for 7 years with her parents, sculptors Lorne McKean FRBS and Edwin Russell FRBS and after practising as a sculptor, she founded The Art Academy in London Bridge, now a degree-validated and thriving art college. She is also the author of ‘Modelling and Sculpting the Figure’. Tanya has completed many public and private commissions nationally and internationally, including large public sculptures in London and abroad and exhibits in gardens and galleries across the country.
