About Us:

Peter Close Sculpture

Born in 1959 Peter Close was educated at Chilton Cantelo House School and has been a professional sculptor for the past twenty five years. He lives and works near the Somerset village of Long Sutton with his wife Melanie and an assortment of animals.

During his career Peter has created sculptures for Greenpeace and The Whale and Dolphin Conservation Society and in 1994 his life-size steel sculpture 'Integral' was selected for the prestigious Royal West of England’s first open sculpture exhibition.

Having always been passionate about wildlife it was natural for Peter to focus his artistic skills on sculpting animals and in particular cats. Many cats have lived at Quarry Farm over the years and our current models are Billy and Murphy two rescue cats who have lived with us for the last 4 years. Peter's instantly recognisable style is to depict cats in naturalistic poses with particular attention to muscular detail.
