I am an artist based in the Sheffield with over 45 years experience in the art business.
I hope you can make the time to look at all my images and appreciate the level of expertise, my command of an ever widening use of media and substrate combinations, subject matter and imaginative use of imagery.

Stoneface Sculpture copy for Garden Up 2014
Sheffield artist Andrew Vickers discovered a passion for sculpting whilst marking the dry stone walls he was building with a stone face. Sculpting a wide variety of media from natural stone and metals to reclaimed materials, the art of ‘Stoneface’ is inspired by Andrew’s spiritual surroundings at his woodland workshop at Storrs Wood where many of his larger sculptures line the bank of Storrs Brook.
Hector and Cedric Timber frame structures
Hector and Cedric Ltd
Hector and Cedric specialise in making unique and inspiring buildings, shelters and furniture from sustainably sourced wood. We work with the natural features of the timber, producing hi- quality pieces to our customers individual requirements.
Our portfolio spans a diverse range from traditional timber frame buildings and high performing sustainable extensions to the finest quality furniture from local hardwoods.
Sheffield based sculptor, Jim Milner, works in local fine-grained sandstone. His beautiful geometric sculptural pieces will be at GardenUp, as well as some of his figurative works.
While some of his work is traditional – relief portraits and Celtic knot-work – most of his recent abstract geometric sculpture has been inspired by a life-long love of geometry.
My work celebrates the personalities and quirky attitudes of animals, domestic and wild, but the more I study them the more I am in awe of the beauty of their design.
I can only give quick impressions, rather like sketches in wire. The sculptures are all galvanised in Rotherham and live happily outside for years, lending animation to the garden even in the darkest winter days.
