Each one of these sculptures have been lovingly hand cast in a special sculptural medium called cast stone. It has a lovely smooth natural feel and a pleasantly satisfying weight and texture. All of my sculptures feel wonderful when you hold them in your hands and are meant to be picked up and touched as well as looked at.

A special gold wash has been rubbed into each sculpture to enhance the variations in texture and detail. Please note that due to the handmade nature of the sculptures, no two of these sculptures are exactly alike, and the final finish may very slightly from what is shown in the picture.

Each sculpture has been individually signed with my signature inscribed into the bottom of the sculpture

I have been selling my Artwork online from my website www.theartofhappiness.net for many years and below is some feedback from my many happy customers :-

Mother and Child sculpture series - complete set

This series of sculptures began at a very special time. A friend came over to model for us with her six month old son. She spent a relaxing day in our studio just lazing back and enjoying the special moments with her child. There was such a wonderful feeling of peacefulness and love between the two of them, that it effortlessly flowed over into these sculptures. Many women from many different cultures have told me they remember holding their babies in one or all of these poses. Perhaps you do too. Motherhood is a universal language which crosses all cultural boundaries. These sculptures will work as a daily reminder to cherish all of those special moments between a mother and child.

Sofan Chan - Painter
I was born and spent my formative years in Hong Kong, a place of great cultural diversity. I studied advanced western painting techniques at the fine art institute of Chicago in the USA, before finally settling with my husband Rochman in Australia.

My paintings have an easily recognisable, unique style filled with filled with vibrant, happy colours and flowing lines. My original oil paintings and limited edition prints are now proudly displayed in a wide variety of collections around the world.

Painting is a form of meditation for me. When I am truly in tune with what I am painting, the inspiration begins to flow, and the paint takes on a life of it's own and effortlessly appears onto the canvas.

Rochman Reese Sculptor
I was born in Australia and spent many years wandering to strange place around the world, and my sculptures are influenced by many different cultures.

My sculptures are a sensual experience. A good sculptural work calls out to be touched as well as looked at. In my work I try to create artworks which evoke an instant tactile response.

Often when I am sculpting my hands just seem to take over. It's almost as if my mind switches off or goes on holidays. It is a state of being outside of time for me. Many hours can pass as almost unconsciously the sculpture seems to create itself.

Both Sofan and I continually inspire each other. Perhaps this is why so much of our Artworks are about love, happiness and tranquility.

Our Artworks can be far more than just something for your eyes, they can also nourish your soul and tantalize your mind. All of our paintings and sculptures have been created with a very special focus on love, happiness, tranquility and inspiration.

In our artistic creations, we want to give joy and share our love of life with others. Artworks have such an amazing power to influence our thoughts and emotions, to uplift and also inspire. We hope you will enjoy them for many years.

Sofan Chan and Rochman Reese
