Amazing Figurative Wire Sculptures by sculptor Sheena McCorquodale

My name is Sheena McCorquodale. I am a wire sculptor, and my work is showcased at Cathouse Gallery on Vancouver Island.

All of my adult life, I have been a graphic designer, working with typography, computer graphics, hand-painted designs, television set graphics, theatre set and prop design, and sign design.

I’ve always used sketching, painting, and sculpture as means to express my own creativity away from the commercial job setting. Since 2015, I’ve been pursuing my personal hobbies at my Cathouse Gallery in Qualicum Bay. In addition to being an AFCA, I am a member of the Federation of Canadian Artists. In addition, I was elected to the Society of Canadian Artists.

Although I like acrylic painting and life-like conte drawings, my preferred media is chicken wire sculpture. A medium that is surprisingly forgiving and gives me countless creative options. I adore being able to give this unexpected, comparatively industrial material life. ~ CathouseGallery

‘Anna’ (Private collection in N. Carolina)

Figurative Wire Sculptures by sculptor Sheena McCorquodale Based on a photo of my niece. Anna studied ballet from an early age, but in her early teens, she shot up to 6′ tall making her an unlikely ballerina. Her long limbs put her out of the running for the Nutcracker etc., but positioned her well for Broadway dance shows. I love her lanky, graceful movements and the inner strength and confidence she exudes.
