Simon Allison’s exquisite fountains combine his talent as a highly skilled artist, his love of the natural world and his fascination with the movement of water.

As a sculptor, he is best known for his large outdoor works. These are hewn from wood and stone, combined with metal and placed in the landscape where they take on a sense of “belonging”. There is little doubt he is deeply influenced by his New Zealand origins.

For many years, Simon has headed an extremely successful bronze foundry. This expertise helps him to produce fountains which are simple in their concept, visually striking and technically demanding.

Taking plants such as the common brassica, hosta, rhubarb, flaxes and many tropical species, Simon and his team, use precision bronze casting to reproduce the extraordinary detail of these gloriously sculptural plants. The subtle introduction of water cascading, trickling and dancing off the leaves brings these creations to life.
