|
Teresa Grimaldi is an installation artist. She was born on the Isle of Wight in 1966 into a family of ice cream vendors. She has a Degree in Theatre Design, then worked as a Designer before she specialising in Puppetry at Central School of Speech and Drama followed by MA in Visual Performance at Dartington College of Arts.
Sarah Vardy studied Art History and Critical Studies at Sussex University, then completed a PGCE. After working at Hove Gallery she studied Museum and Art Gallery Education and worked at Brighton Museum. Sarah spent 16 years teaching art and traditional crafts in schools, day centres and in community settings. She later studied Fine Art at Brighton College, focusing upon her own work, driven by experimental art processes with a particular interest in portraiture and print. After meeting on the ‘mainland’ to explore experimental artistic processes for teachers and children, Sarah and Teresa realised they had shared family with Isle of Wight connections. With both artists being experimental and process led, it was inevitable that their artistic vision would come together. Eventually their partnership of ideas and processes amalgamated into ‘Rag and Bones ‘ their first joint show for the Ventnor Fringe Festival 2019. |
