What an incredible honour to transform this piece! Stacey contacted me earlier this year regarding painting this skull in honour of her late husband, Neville, who passed away 8 years ago. Neville’s cows were his passion and this skull is from one of his stud cows. Stacey and I worked together to come up with a design and colour palate that would complement her home and include Neville’s cattle brand.
This skull presented a number of challenges with her broken nose and non symmetrical horns, meaning that the design needed to balance these factors. I feel she came up beautifully! It’s these factors that make my pieces entirely unique and ‘one of a kind’. All of my designs are drawn especially for each skull with specific inclusions as requested.
Thank you, Stacey, for entrusting me to create this special piece for you in Neville’s memory. I am so grateful and humbled for the opportunity.
