Meeting the sculptress Rosalind Hore






This morning Henry Shelton and I met up with sculptress and painter Rosalind Hore, who has become a member of commission4mission. Rosalind works in clay, plaster, concrete and acrylics treating mainly Christian themes such as Christ figures, nativity sets and Stations of the Cross. Her Pietà, pictured above, can be seen in the Lady Chapel of St Laurence Upminster.

Rosalind has been an art teacher throughout her working life, has taken part in the Cambridge Open Studios (creating a sculpture garden and art gallery at her home) and has led art groups and projects in the parishes where she has lived. She has a sculpture in the Bible Garden at St Mary's Goring-by-Sea, which she describes as follows: "As part of a parish mission called Stepping Stones, I decided to do something special and made a seated figure of Christ with his arms outstretched titled Come Unto Me. We put stepping stones in the grass leading up to him."
