Sculptor in Residence for 2024!
I am delighted to announce that I have been selected to be Burghley Horse Trials new Sculptor in Residence this September 2024. An event I know and love well. I will be attending both with my show stand and also as Sculptor in Residence …choosing a theme for a piece that celebrates this world-class event. I am so excited and hope to see you all at Burghley soon.
…a few words from Burghley Horse Trials and Event Director Martyn Johnson:
Event Director Martyn Johnson said: “Since Burghley House is one of the great treasure houses of Europe, and holds so much exceptional art, we are pleased to reflect this heritage in a small way by having an Artist and now a Sculptor in Residence at this year’s Defender Burghley Horse Trials. Few things are more beautiful than a top event horse, and these two artists are masters at capturing that.”
Belinda Sillars adds: “The strength of my work is in the movement and capturing that animation is the challenge at Burghley. I’m always captivated by the bravery of the horses on the course and their love of what they do.”
Belinda, from Suffolk, creates sculptures in bronze and has undertaken many significant commissions including for World Series Racing Championships, Hickstead Dressage and Chatsworth and Bramham International Horse Trials. She has exhibited at Burghley since the 1990s.
