Susan Leyland: Susan Leyland was born in 1952 and grew up in England near Cambridge. Her grandfather, a veterinarian and horse breeder, gave her, her first pony at the age of four, establishing what would become a life-long passion for horses.

Since her early school days Susan had drawn and painted avidly in her free time and this love of art and creativity continued through her adult life. She became fascinated by the work of the Impruneta terracotta artisans and encouraged by the Mariani family Susan began to make her first studies and sculptures. Susan was given her first solo exhibition in 1998, the success of which led to a second exhibition at the Galleria Tornabuoni the following year. She has since gained international recognition and has been commissioned to create public monuments world wide.
