Carol Acworth
Selected artist profile information for this English Sculptor
AboutCarol lives and works in the Languedoc region of the South of France.A sculptor of rare talent, Carol looks at the humanity and feeling of her subject matter. Although she produces such varied pieces, there is a constant vein of vigour of movement and texture that demands to be touched. Her work is to be found in many homes in England, Scotland and Wales, including that of Penelope Keith, and in Kuwait, Singapore, Italy, France, New Zealand and the United States. Commissions include a Madonna and Child in Oak, for St Peters Church, Petersfield, and a bust of John Bofwen, who gave his garden in Petersfield to the town for the use of the public. Other works in public places include Petersfield Hospital, and King Edward School Witley. Carol states: “If my sculpture touches the heart, then it has achieved its real goal, to bring a little tenderness, a little light, a little healing, a little truth, a little humour and a little love into a struggling world.” |

Biography / CVMy childhood was in the war years, and after a haphazard and inadequate education due to ill health, and a brief career in photography, I married.Renovating houses, (the shape around us!) occupied much of my working life, but now real sculpture, nearly always figurative, occupies more time and is dominated by my fascination with the dilemma of life, we humans and how we tick, and how we relate to one another. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
