Animal Sculptures by Karen Wilde NZ

Figurative Freestanding Art

Karen Wilde’s freestanding figurative sculptures weave form and texture into delicate, clay-born narratives. Through expressive surfaces and tactile marks, each piece reveals an intimate dialogue between artist and material. With serene faces and partially nude forms, they invite quiet contemplation, capturing fleeting moments between thought and emotion. Some embody goddess-like strength, blending classical mythology with modern tales of the natural world. These figures hold a watchful presence that lingers beyond the visible.

All pieces are for decorative indoor display and dry flowers only.
