Kate Newlyn

Kate Newlyn is a self-taught sculptor. Originally trained in the Performing Arts (Middlesex University 1978-1981) she worked in London as a performer and mask-maker for various mime companies. Gradually, her focus shifted from the fluid images of mime to the static images of sculpture.

After an apprenticeship at a bronze foundry, she moved, in 1991, to Rhodes, Greece where she lived for six years, producing a body of work based on readings in classical mythology.

Following a further year in Turkey, and various working trips to France, Italy and the U.S.A., she returned to the U.K. and now lives and works in Somerset.

Her work has featured in several prestigious exhibitions in France, Greece and Turkey.
