Stuart Anderson is well known for his bronze sculptures of animals. In recent years he has concentrated on the elegant and vital forms of greyhounds and horses, but also works from more unusual but sculpturally interesting subjects such as goats. He works in clay or wax and casts his sculptures into bronze himself, using the lost wax process.

He has worked in Suffolk as a sculptor since obtaining a BA (Hons) Degree in Sculpture from the Winchester School of Art and a Post Graduate in Bronze Casting/Sculpture at the RCA.

'I work from life where possible, with the model, animal or human in front of me, preferring natural, unforced and sometimes quickly observed poses, which always say more about the model (character and physical nature). I try to convey the vitality of the living body, to explore and learn about the anatomy and to make strong sculptural forms.'
