It is by no coincidence that over the last twenty years Martin Hayward-Harris' work has been represented in may of the great Institutions of the world.

He trained at The Natural History Museum for five years producing a bench-mark sculpture of a Blue Whale which is still on show in South Kensington today.

In 1988 Martin was head-hunted for a similar post at the National Museum of Denmark, Copenhagen, where he worked with some of Europe's greatest wildlife artists. Ten years later Martins work was chosen by The Daily Mail to be the centrepiece of The Hampton Court Flower Show which became a sell-out.

From 1995 Martins work supported the WWF through Christies' Sales and in 2001 was represented in 20th Century British Art with his Boxing Hare.

Martin's work is represented in many private and public collections including:

The National Museum of Wales
The Woburn Estate
The Wellington Estate
The Late Princess Diana
Corporations in France, Japan and USA.

The way Martin creates his bronze life size animal sculptures would not be possible without the innate love of nature and his unique knowledge of the physiology of the animals. In the physical presence of his work a tactile response is demanded - a sculptural equivalent of the impressionists. The simplicity of form and sensitivity to the material he uses gives each piece a stillness, an ageless form yet parallel to this unmistakeable classic feel. This is something contemporary too.
