Marina Hamilton
Equestrian Painter & Sculptor
My work both on canvas and in clay is inspired by a life-long love of animals. From my early days growing up on our family farm overlooking the River Foyle in St Johnston, Co Donegal I have been fascinated by animals and their individual characters. It is that uniqueness and distinct personality which inspires me every day when I pick up a paint brush or open a bag of clay. I love bringing them to life, be it through a kind eye, an elegant pose or a cheeky turn of a snout. Just like the animals each piece of sculpture in ceramic or bronze is a one off.
