Hello, my name's Gill Newlyn

I'm a self taught professional sculptor and musician and my husband and I live and work on the west coast of Ireland, half way up a Kerry mountain on the Wild Atlantic Way.

 

I sculpt only what I know and only what I've lived and loved during my past three lives over my last six decades.

 

I recreate in 3D, the bliss of the unique connection between horse and ethical rider and the bliss of music making.

 

I honour the beauty of the wild horse, of cats being cats and the tenderness of the nursing Jenny with her foal.

 

Without sentimentality and with anatomical accuracy, I honour the 'happy' donkey, the side of that beast that many never see.
