Rosamond Lloyd
Born in 1973, Rosamond has been a gifted artist from childhood, inspired by her surroundings, the natural world and by the example of her talented artist grandmother. Rosamond graduated with a London University degree in English and Drama before pursuing a career in radio. She later returned to her first love of art, combining the study of illustration at art school with motherhood. It was during this period that she began sculpting, initially as a hobby and then, further to an apprenticeship with a local bronze sculptor, as a profession. Her work rapidly attracted interest from both private collectors and galleries and she now works exclusively as a sculptor from her studio in Oxfordshire.
Sculpting in clay or wax and casting predominantly in bronze and bronze resin, Rosamond draws her inspiration from the natural world and particularly the relationship between parent and offspring. A vivid sense of attention to detail defines her sculptures, helping to capture the spirit and sense of her subject matter with both accuracy and empathy.
In 2011, Rosamond was shortlisted for the prestigious David Shepherd Wildlife Artist of the Year Award. Her piece – The Art of Nurture, a bronze sculpture depicting a female baboon carrying her baby, was selected out of a total of around 800 entries submitted from artists worldwide and displayed in the Mall Galleries, London. It was a great favourite with the judges; “Rosamond’s work was a strong contender in what was the most creative and exciting shortlist to date” said judge and founder of the David Shepherd Wildlife Foundation, David Shepherd CBE.
Rosamond’s sculptures have been featured widely in local, national and international press. She exhibits in galleries, participates in Oxfordshire Artweeks and is a regular guest sculptor at the prestigious Art in Action, the UK’s largest festival of master craftsmanship. In 2013 she visited Zambia on a research trip to collect material for a new body of sculpture. Her new work featured in her highly acclaimed London show, a collaboration with award winning wildlife photographer, David Lloyd (no relation), entitled BRONZE, BLACK & WHITE – Two Wildlife Artists – One Unique Show, at the Royal Opera Arcade Gallery, Pall Mall. A special sculpture by Rosamond, commissioned by the Cotswold Wildlife Park, commemorating the birth of their first white rhino calf, also made its public debut at this exhibition. Rosamond is passionate about conservation; her bronze study of a white rhino and calf was created as a limited edition of 10 with a significant percentage of the sale price on each sculpture donated to Tusk to help to fund black and white rhino conservation projects in Africa.

Rosamond accepts private commissions, will consider all subject matter and is able to produce sculptures to any scale. She involves her clients as much as possible in the creative process and they value her personal approach to their special commission; “Being able to commission such a bronze has fulfilled a long held aspiration for us. You have worked so hard and thoughtfully throughout and there is no doubt that the whole experience was greatly enhanced for us because you were the artist. We shall follow your career with great interest.” Private Client
Rosamond is also a member of the Marwell International Wildlife Art Society, the Surrey Sculpture Society and Artparks International.
