South African-born Sam Loggie studied Fine Art at Johannesburg School of the Arts before settling in the UK. Her distinctive style of sculpture has been inspired by the classic realism of the Italian Renaissance and the dynamic strength and beauty of Rodin's work.

Sam specialises in strong male and female nude studies and life-size portraits, in terracotta clay and bronze.

She has studied figurative sculpture at The Slade in London, and teaches sculpture to pre-school children as part of an Arts Therapy programme.
