Barn Owl on Post

Hayley is a self-taught artist who over recent years has evolved from a painter to wire-sculptor. She uses a variety of single strand wires, including copper, steel and aluminium to construct intricate animal and bird forms and then mounts them on to all sorts of interesting found objects such as old gates, water troughs, weathered driftwood and reclaimed wood which she sources while exploring the local countryside. Sometimes these objects can be the spark of an idea for a specific piece, other times, the bird or animal is the starting point. Hayley’s wire sculptures have proved very popular and invitations to exhibit at prestigious events have led to her work being sold both nationally and internationally. In 2021 she was commissioned by Willmott Dixon Construction Company to make a sculpture for the new Chestnut Primary School built in Yatton, North Somerset. This large stainless steel Sea Eagle being her first Public piece.
