Sophie Ryder
Sophie Ryder was born in London, England, in 1963. During her childhood, her French mother travelled to Provence in the south of France where the family spent the entire summer. She studied Combined Arts at the Royal Academy of Arts where, while obtaining her diploma in painting, she was encouraged by fellow artist to develop her sculpture. Inspired by Picasso, Goya and Henry Moore, she famously developed the Lady Hare as a counterpart to Ancient Greek mythology's Minotaur.
The Lady Hare is undoubtedly her most famous sculpture which she felt inspired to make after she was walking her dog and it came back with a dead hare in its mouth. The Lady Hare is shown below.
