PETRA

‘Petra’ is a tribute to the Eurasian lynx, inspired by my muse, a remarkable feline of the same name who lived under the protection of The Big Cat Sanctuary, Kent, United Kingdom.

Petra was a striking and majestic lynx, embodying the quiet strength and elusive beauty of her species. She lived a long and happy life in the sanctuary’s care, but her passing last year was a poignant reminder of the fragility of these incredible creatures of the wild.

Eurasian lynx continue to face illegal hunting and habitat destruction, despite conservation efforts. Whilst the international fur trade ban has helped, poaching remains a grave threat, and human encroachment is shrinking their natural habitat. Without urgent intervention, these solitary hunters may disappear from the landscapes they once ruled.

To honour Petra’s legacy and support her species, a portion of the proceeds from each ‘Petra’ sculpture will be donated to The Big Cat Sanctuary, aiding their essential breeding and conservation programmes. This sculpture captures the spirit of Petra, regal, poised, elegant and strong - serving as both a tribute to her life and a call to action for the protection of her kind.

By bringing ‘Petra’ into your space, you are not only acquiring a piece of art but also contributing to the survival of the Eurasian lynx, ensuring that their silent presence continues to echo through the wild.

Petra has been crafted both in Foundry Bronze, using the Lost Wax Method and the Cold Wax Method (Bronze Resin). Both adorned with handmade Solid Bronze Tufts.
