Sculpture with soul

Inspired by life Gillian seeks to capture something universal about humanity in her work as a figurative sculptor.

Fascinated by processes and materials, she has worked with ceramics, porcelain, bronze resin, plaster, paper, fabric, latex, wax, leather and experiments with repurposing discarded domestic materials.

Gillian makes work to exhibit and also undertakes both private and public commissions.
