Helen Sinclair

Helen Sinclair was born and brought up in Carmarthenshire and did her foundation
course at Carmarthen School of Art 1972 – 73. She studied sculpture at Wimbledon
School of Art, graduating in 1976 and has worked as a full-time self-employed
sculptor since 1988. Inspired by the human form and its artistic depictions
throughout history, she creates semi-figurative pieces cast in resin or bronze from
originals in plaster, clay, wax, or wood. Living by the sea on the Gower Peninsula,
found beach materials often introduce new sculptural vocabularies into her work and
are as stimulating to work with as the subject matter. Helen exhibits widely
throughout Britain, notably at the Chelsea Flower Show, and her sculptures are held
in collections worldwide. Public commissions include works for Chichester Cathedral,
All Saints Church in Fulham, and Brecon Cathedral. She lives and works with her
husband, sculptor Terry Ryall, and is President of the Society of Women Artists.
