A number of his works are in public collections, including Isis, displayed in Hyde Park, London, unveiled 7 September 2009. 1,000 plaques around the base were sold to donors for personalised inscriptions at £1,000 each,[5] as a way of funding the park's Isis Education Centre for introducing young people to the study of nature. The work was donated to the park by the Halcyon Gallery.[6]
Other casts of Isis are at Prince Charles' Highgrove House in Gloucestershire and at the United States' National Museum of Wildlife Art.[4]
