Maker's bio

Poppy is a figurative sculptor. She works from a private studio on Lavender Hill in London. Poppy graduated from the Courtauld in 2016 and trained in figurative sculpture at The Florence Academy of Art. During her time in Italy, Poppy gave lectures on the History of Art and was awarded a QEST Scholarship, a Leverhulme Trust Study Abroad Studentship and the FAA’s Graduate in Residence Prize for sculpture. In 2019, Poppy's first life-size sculpture was commissioned in bronze, and she returned to the UK to set up her studio. In 2021, Poppy won her first public commission: two-metre bronze monuments of Her Majesty The Queen and Prince Philip, The Duke of Edinburgh. These were recently installed in niches on The Royal Albert Hall's South Porch façade.
