Harriet Rebecca Mead 〔http://www.swla.co.uk/SWLAmembers/meadh/MeadH.htm〕 (born 2 September 1969) is an English Wildlife Artist specialising in metal sculptures. She received formal art education during a foundation year at St Albans College, followed by a degree in Fine Art at the Norwich School of Art. Mead’s work is inspired by animals and birds. From an early age she was encouraged to observe and develop a keen interest in British wildlife due to the influence of her late father, Chris Mead,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Chris Mead )〕 who was a well-known author and broadcaster. Harriet uses personal experience and direct observation to provide inspiration for her work. The countryside and wildlife around her home in rural Norfolk and her travels to various places around the world, including Asia and Africa, provide subject matter for her work. After showing at its annual show for several years, Mead was elected a full member of the internationally renowned Society of Wildlife Artists (SWLA). In 2004, she was elected to Council of the SWLA. Harriet has won the Society’s prestigious Capmark Award in 2007 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=MAKING A MARK )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Artdaily.org - The First Art Newspaper on the Net )〕 and was runner-up in 2006. In 2009, she was elected as the Society's President, making her the youngest and first woman in its 47 year history. ==Her work== Although predominately a sculptor, Mead also produces drawings and prints, but focuses on using steel to create her sculptures. Harriet’s steel sculptures fall into two categories the “true-to-life” form made predominantly from sheet steel that resemble as accurately as possible the species being created, and “found objects” in which Mead uses everyday objects to produce an abstract form of the animal. Harriet tends to work to commission, but does maintain a few examples of her work in key galleries.〔http://www.buckenham-galleries.co.uk/Sculptors/Harriet_Mead.htm〕 She seems to be able to tackle any subject from the natural world. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Harriet Mead」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
