Wishing him and his team the very best as they enter production.

We are excited to share these frames from ‘The Sister Queens’ a new film which documents artist and sculptor Amy Goodman as she works to complete two bronze statues of HM Queen Elizabeth II. The first of which was unveiled in Riverside Park, Andover, in September 2024.
