Veda Hallowes

Born and brought up in South Africa, Veda came late to sculpture after a successful career first in nursing and then as a ceramicist and ceramic art teacher while she and her family lived abroad. Over the years her work has been enriched by the experience of living and working in South Africa, Peru, Hong Kong and Pakistan.

Veda works mainly in bronze, but sometimes in Carrara marble, and she often uses fruits as a metaphor for the female form, with complex and rich patination. Her work exudes fertility and sensuality and each piece is unique.

Veda had work accepted on the Summer Exhibition at the Royal Academy in London in 2001 and the exclusive Newt in Somerset bought an edition of her “The Source” for their impressive gardens.  She consistently exhibits in London, Cheltenham and Guernsey and is included in the ‘Who’s Who in Art’ and the ‘World Who’s Who of Women’ publications.
