Caroline Waterlow

My first degree is in Fine Art Painting from Canterbury College of Art in the 1970’s, In my last year there, I was introduced to the work of the German artist, Kurt Schwitters. His work practice of using different materials to formulate his thoughts and ideas, including the unfinished Mertz barn in the Lake district, resonated so much with me. It began a life long practice of using a variety of materials in my own artistic work.

It was not until the 90s that I started working with sculptural concerns in a more focused way. My sculptures range from works in steel, to fired clay, bronze or paper mache. Drawing remains integral to my practice. Over all disciplines my work is rooted in the observation of form as it moves through space and time, whether humans, birds or animals

My studio is in Bath. I have worked in adult education teaching life drawing and running creative art workshops.

Both drawings and sculptures have won prizes and awards, and commissioned sculpture can be found in a number of private and public collections, including the Millennium Garden at Pecorama, Beer in Dorset.
