Marine sculpture on display

Sculptures by marine sculptor Mr John Woulfe of Daley's Point are on display at the Art by the Sea art exhibition at Killcare Surf Lifesaving Club until 6pm, Monday, January 10.

Mr Woulfe specialises in developing sculptures based on the sleek form of yachts.

His creations are hand carved from Australian timbers and combined with stainless steel and sandstone.

He has won a number of awards including a major art prize in 2005 of $50,000 with a wall mounted sculpture titled Hobart Bound, inspired by the Sydney to Hobart Yacht race.

"I am extremely passionate about what I do and my sculptures are a result of many sleepless nights.

"I held back launching my work until I felt I had it right and I am now happy with the quality of the pieces I am producing," said Mr Woulfe.

He has been working with boats for 34 years and diversified to more artistic pursuits following a life threatening bout of meningitis.

Mr Woulfe has been working on making finely-detailed yacht sculptures for around 20 years.

He has been commissioned for public art for two outside walls at Fisherman's Wharf at the Entrance.

He was also recently appointed the principal artist for exclusive waterfront development Rippleside Quay in Geelong, designing and creating indoor and outdoor sculpture both freestanding and wall mounted for the entire complex.
