Focusing on the nobility and strength of man, Mitchell’s work has a highly traditional feel. His busts are created using bronze, terracotta and plaster and each sculpture holds a strong presence in the room whilst revealing a vivid sense of the character it portrays."ThisisCentralStation.com - June 2015http://bit.ly/1MCAY0t"Nerves of Steel. Profound and daring work. Well done. Visually rewarding, meeting up to the perceptual challenge which is the real Eiger face."Alexander Stoddard - June 2015Sculptor in Ordinary to Her Majesty the Queen in Scotland................................................................................................................................................“If the Artist only reproduces superficial features, as photography does- if he copies the lineaments of the face exactly, without reference to character- he deserves no admiration. The resemblance which he ought to obtain is that of the Soul- that alone matters; it is that which the Sculptor should seek beneath the mask of features.”Auguste Rodin
