A pair of replica Liver Birds are set to take flight to the Tropics this winter after being created by a sculptor for a Liverpool businessman's holiday home.
Rebecca Ainscough is from Wigan but was educated in Merseyside and attended the University in Liverpool. She said she "fell in love" with sculpture as an art form at 15, when her mother surprised her with a trip to Paris.
Although creating a replica of the Liver Birds was "alien" to Rebecca, who usually focuses on the naked form in her work, the project "presented an exciting challenge".
