The transference from horses to sculpting came as a revelation! Having admired an extremely expensive equine bronze sculpture, Irene appreciated the joke when she was given, for a birthday present, a pack of modelling clay labelled 'Statue - DIY Version'.

The artform that had laid dormant in her was born. Irene's most prestigious work is for 'The American Breeders' Trophy'. Her clients include a number of internationally famous people.
