Sally De Courcy

Sally de Courcy was born in Canterbury, Kent. She qualified in 2016 from the University of Creative Arts, Farnham with a first class honours degree, scholarship and masters with distinction in Fine Art. She is interested in repetition of cast objects and works in different mediums including bronze. The objects are re-assembled to reveal a narrative.

Her past medical experience of working with refugees as a young doctor influenced her work, which often stands for those who are treated as less than human.

Sally is a member of IAVA, International Association of Visual Artists and Continuum. She has had publications most recently in Flux Review Magazine and has won awards. She has exhibited throughout the UK and internationally most recently with Transcultural Exchange, Boston and The Borders Exhibition in the Contemorary Artspace, Palazzo Albrizzi- Capello, Venice and the Ty Pawb...
