Stephanie Cushing
Stephanie has worked as a sculptor from her studio in the Cotswolds for the last 15 years. She is largely self-taught, originally working with softer limestone where her work was inspired by natural forms, like fruits and seeds. She then fell in love with marble and her early work explored its fluidity, aiming to make it appear malleable and pliable as if it has been gently coaxed and twisted into shape. Each new piece tends to be a progression from the last and is both a challenge to herself, her skills and the marble. Mostly she works in Carrara marble exploiting its whiteness and investigating its translucency, but always aiming for a beautiful perfect smooth surface that begs to be caressed and stroked.
She has exhibited nationally and her work is held in many private collections in the UK and abroad.
For the last seven years she has worked as a Freelance Curator and Exhibition Co-ordinator for a number of outdoor sculpture venues.
