Helen Denerley is a well-known Scottish sculptor whose works are animal inspired. One of her favourite muses is her lurcher-mix called Molly.

Helen was born at Roslin, near Edinburgh. She studied in Aberdeen at Gray’s School of Art, 1973-7. Working mainly in metal, she uses farming tools, industrial machinery and scrap.

She has exhibited regularly since the late 1970s, and is a founder member of Aberdeen Community Arts Association, 1982.

Her recent work includes sculpture for the Princess Royal Trust Carers Centre, Aberdeen (1994), and Millie (1999), which was modelled on her own horse and exhibited at the West of England Art Fair, Bath, 1999.

In 2001 she exhibited several animal sculptures in Glasgow’s Merchant Square, including four Lurchers, a Great Dane and an Iguana.

It’s not every dog which can claim to have been admired in the finest art galleries in the land. But Molly, the lurcher from Aberdeenshire, isn’t just any dog. She owes her exotic good looks to her distinctive breeding - part Scottish Deerhound, part Irish Wolfhound, part Greyhound, part Norwegian Elkhound, part Collie and part Rottweiler - and her celebrity status to her owner, Helen Denerley, who creates extraordinary sculptures from farmyard junk.
