Gwenda Jones

Meet the Artist

Gwenda Jones is a contemporary British portrait and figurative sculptor known for her unique exploration of human and animal studies, where texture meets form to create deeply emotive works.

Her pieces, ranging from intimate portraits to large-scale sculptures, capture the essence of her subjects with a refined sensitivity and an innate understanding of form. Gwenda’s sculptures often celebrate her lifelong love of horses. This passion began during her early childhood in the rural landscapes of Oxfordshire, where this connection to nature is reflected in the graceful dynamism of her equine sculptures, which evoke a sense of power, serenity and human connections.

“I absorb the world around me like a visual sponge, constantly capturing moments that spark my imagination. I’m always taking photos, making quick sketches, or scribbling notes—often ones I can’t even decipher later—little reminders of the images and thoughts that echo in my mind. These ideas evolve in their own time, sometimes taking years to fully form, while others come to life in just a few days”.

Before fully dedicating herself to sculpture, Gwenda studied Architecture and Design at Birmingham Central University, graduating with a BA Honours in Three Dimensional Design, student and open design awards, leading to a distinguished career as a Professional Interior Designer, specialising in corporate and high-end residential spaces. Expertise in balancing art, form, and function within aspirational and luxurious interiors gained her international recognition, including design awards and publications. Her background in interior design is evident in the way she approaches sculpture with a deep consideration of how each piece interacts with its surroundings.

Gwenda’s work often draws upon her keen interest in how textures and forms communicate with space. This results in timeless modern sculptures that enhance personal, corporate, and public spaces. Each piece is a celebration and narrative of life, whether human or animal, brought to life with a delicate balance of grace and strength.

In her creative journey, Gwenda continues to inspire through her deep commitment to craftsmanship, exploration and her ability to capture the spirit of her subjects with profound emotion and artistry.
