Notes
Nick Bibby, born in County Durham, England, began honing his talent for three-dimensional art at a young age. Bibby began selling his creations and became a full-time sculptor by his late teens, having left school at eighteen. Bibby’s distinctive sculptural style is marked by the life-like appearance of his pieces. His early career included roles as director of a miniature figurine company and chief design consultant for a French art firm. In 1992 he shifted focus to bronze casting. Bibby's meticulously crafted animal sculptures have become sought-after collector items.
