Perhaps best known in Scotland for her much-loved Dreaming Spires giraffes – a mother and calf standing at the top of Edinburgh’s Leith Walk – Helen Denerley is celebrated for her ability to capture the movement, character and vitality of the natural world through metal.
Introducing: Helen Denerley, which runs from 14 to 29 November 2026 at Morningside Gallery, will feature 15 new sculptures.
Working from her studio on a remote hillside in rural Aberdeenshire, Helen creates sculptures of animals and birds from salvaged machinery, tools and industrial scrap. Her art fuses the mechanical and natural world and expresses her life-long interest in animals, ecology and the environment.
Morningside Gallery is wheelchair accessible, with ground level entry.
