Cathy Lewis, trained at Glasgow and Falmouth Schools of Art.
From 1998 – 2006 Cathy specialised in bronzes of the acrobatic male form in balance. In 2006 Cathy was commissioned by Charles Church Developments to create a large sculpture for a public site beside the new Registry Office at Holliday Wharf, Birmingham. From late 2009 Cathy’s focus widened to include her series of beautifully modelled life-sized figures of children – all with strong urban or tribal identities.
