Gwenda Jones Sculpture
texture meets form
Gwenda Jones is a contemporary British portrait and figurative sculptor, whose studio-based practice in Birmingham moves between human, equine and animal forms, examining how emotion and inner states are revealed through physical presence and connection. Working predominantly in clay, she combines bold surface texture and colour with structural balance, to create layered works of narrative and psychological presence.
Gwenda’s portrait Born to be seen. A colourful woman is a finalist in the prestigious Women In Art Prize sculpture category for emerging women artists. In March 2026, new portrait and equine works will be exhibited at Zebra One Gallery, Hampstead, London, as part of Women in Art, celebrating International Women’s Day. She will also be exhibiting at Leamington OPEN26 until 3rd May, and at the Manchester Art Fair in 19-22 November 2026 with The Sculpture Gallery, and at Independent Galleries in Yorkshire and the Cotswolds, to date.
