Gavin Haselup

Born in Kent in 1968, Gavin attended the Medway College of Design for two years, eventually leaving as a qualified silversmith, and went to work with a design consultancy company in Cambridge for some three years. 

His next move saw him serving for a short spell with the police, after which he joined a company in Kent that marketed kits of military figures, with which company he remained for some 15 years.  Eventually, Gavin decided that he wanted more freedom to exercise his varied artistic talents and so he left to set up on his own and is now engaged in sculpture, portraiture painting and jewellery design.

This brilliant depiction of a dragon, one of history’s most enduring legends, is the first of this artist’s creations in bronze, but will certainly not be the last.
