In the 80s he began to develop his own artwork and in 1991 gave up teaching to work full time on sculpture. In 1996 he was elected President of the Royal Society of British Sculptors and is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts. He works in the UK & USA where he was awarded residency by the US government as 'a person of extraordinary artistic ability'. www.mauriceblik.com |
