Sculptures of Birds
Inspired by a lifelong love of nature and a background in zoology, Sculptress JOEL creates beautifully detailed bird sculptures that celebrate the grace, diversity, and wonder of avian life.
Where Art Meets Ornithology
With her background in the study of zoology, her attention to detail and investment in research of her subjects Sculptress JOEL is known for her accurate and inspiring sculptures of birds.
A Closer Look at Owls in Sculpture
These finely crafted owl sculptures showcase JOEL’s ability to capture the wisdom, presence, and intricate detail of these remarkable birds.
Recognised Work,
Commissioned with Purpose
JOEL has been commissioned to make sculptures of several British birds species by a UK nature conservation charity.
Examples of her lovely bronze birds have been chosen for National and regional curated exhibitions including the Royal Cambrian art exhibition in January 2025 and the London Art Biennale 2025.
From Wrens to Falcons
There are many different sculptures of different bird species from which to choose – from the little Wren to the largest falcon in the world – the Gyr Falcon.
Raising Awareness For Nesting Spaces
“I hope to do more to help the conservation of these birds, including for the Swift -they travel so far to nest in our buildings as they have for thousands of years.
Such marvels of precious life it amazes me how they can travel such distances even after they have newly fledged.”

Stay Connected – Commissions & Conservation
Sculptress JOEL is currently working on a beautifully illustrated children’s book about a mother Wren—an inspiring story rooted in her love for nature and birdlife. The book will be available soon, and you’re warmly invited to contact the studio to express interest or learn more about her ongoing conservation projects.
JOEL accepts a limited number of new commissions each year. If there’s a particular bird species—or another animal—you’d like to honour through sculpture, whether for a private collection or public installation, please get in touch with the Tenon Studio to begin the conversation.
