DIDO CROSBY has a BA (Hons) in Zoology from St Hilda’s College, Oxford (1984). And another BA in Fine Art Sculpture from Central St Martin’s College of Art, London (1996). In between she took courses in anatomical and life drawing, etching, furniture, plastics and ceramics at Brighton, a year long course in Welding Practice at Hackney College, London and worked for 2 years in cancer research at the Royal London Hospital, Whitechapel and the ICRF London.
Dido Crosby is an animalier, feeling herself to be in a line of mostly nineteenth century French sculptors. Her animals are beautiful and real, they invite the spectator to stroke them and enjoy their physicality. www.didocrosby.com or instagram
GRACE MARGARITA (b. 1995 in Kew Gardens) is an abstract artist inspired by the lunar cycles, nature and spirituality. She studied History of Art at the Courtauld Institute of Art (BA & MA, 2014-2018) and since then has been working as a Curator and Archivist for 1920s-1970s photography, art & fashion at institutions such as the National Portrait Gallery, Fashion and Textile Museum and Iconic Images. Working behind-the-scenes in the art world has inspired much of Grace’s creative practice.
She draws on spiritual philosophies on the cyclical nature of life – appreciating that everything within the universe is constantly passing through its own dance of dark and light, spring, summer, fall and winter. www.gracemargarita.com or instagram
