Introduction
Throughout my career I have practised as both a sculptor and a painter, influenced by my excellent training in Bristol and my studies with Professor Romeo Mancini at the Academy of Fine Art in Perugia, Italy.
My sculptures are planned through drawings of organic forms and then maquettes whether they are for carving or casting in bronze or cement mix. My paintings are mainly derived from on site drawings of urban landscapes, which are then translated into bold abstract oil paintings.
Biography
Born in 1931, Daphne Boothby studied at the West of England College of Art gaining a first class honours in sculpture. After further study in Italy and a period of teaching, she has worked from her London studio.
Her work has been exhibited in this country and abroad and she has both sculptures and paintings in public and private collections. A recent project was to design and make a trophy for the International Professional Windsurfers Association.
Commissioning clients include the B.B.C., Shure Electronics, Romsey Abbey and the Church of St John the Baptist, Neath Abbey. Portraits in bronze are also regularly commissioned from her West London studio.
