His subject matter was Australian wildlife. 1990 saw him expand to the USA opening a second foundry in Arizona, eventually settling in Eugene, Oregon.In 1999 Michael Storey moved again, this time to the UK, setting up a third foundry in Shepton Mallet, Somerset.Michael Storey currently sells his bronze sculptures through, Wykeham Gallery.
