This tall plant illustrates the strength and delicacy of the natural world. The forged steel leaves move gently in the passing breeze, and the blown glass flowers radiate light, bringing the sculpture to life.

The uplifting power of sculpture
- • Jenny is one of the UK’s leading female artist blacksmiths
- • Her designs combine forged, galvanised steel and blown glass
- • Her large-scale public art pieces have an emotional power
Jenny grew up on a farm and has always been inspired by the natural world. “I think people in cities are often more disconnected from nature than we used to be and so I hope my art helps people reconnect with the natural world,” she says. Jenny’s vision and energy is infectious. Her designs posses a unique drama, yet work in total harmony with their surroundings. She is a regular exhibitor at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show, has exhibited at Buckingham Palace as part of the Coronation Festival and her Agapanthus sculpture was the show feature at the Chicago Flower Show in 2012.
