Paul Hoggard & Remy Hoggard

Paul (UK) found sand sculpting in 1991 on a beach in India, and Remy (from the Netherlands) came from European theme parks. In 2003, they met in a huge sand sculpture theme park in Belgium, and have been inseparable ever since. Together, they run their company Sandartist Ltd. They are full-time sand artists and have traveled around the world doing what they love: creating with sand. They enjoy meeting and interacting with people to experience different cultures. The public will often come back to see the progress on their sculptures and have a chat.
