Andrew Sinclair's impressive catalogue of work graces distinguished historical properties and public places such as the Royal Box at Ascot and Crosby Hall (Sir Thomas More's old palace) in London. Working to commission during his 25 year professional career, Andrew's sculptures are in collections across the globe.
His talent extends across all genres of sculpture, from historic bronze re-creations for public spaces and private commissions, commemorative portraits for museums and industry magnates, to award-winning Imaginary Realist work showcased in Spectrum - a yearly compendium of the world's most accomplished fantasy artists.
