Simone is a sculptor based in London and Stutttgart. She began her art studies at Kunsthochschule Mainz in Germany under professor Tamara Grcic (sculpture) and John Skoog (film). In 2018 she received the scholarship "Studienstfitung des Deutschen Volkes"; that enabled her to complete a postgraduate course at the Royal College of Art in London, where she completed her MA in sculpture in July this summer (2020).

Availability: Since I work as a freelance artist, it is easy for me to integrate tutorials in my day`s schedule. Hence, I am flexible concerning time and day, which furthermore enables me to be available at short notice.

Willing to travel: 10 miles

Experience: I started studying art with a focus on sculpture in the year of 2015. Since then I have continiously followed this practice without any major interruptions. During my studies I have gained professional experience in handcrafts like wood and polystyrene carving, advanced paper maché or mould making and casting.
I previously organised workshop with students and created group projects for the local community like a travelling cinema- amongst one of its stops has been a beautiful art deco gym of a primary school with a film programme and customised screens especially developed for the space and the young audience.

Growing up reading the Grimm Brother’s fairy-tales, Harry Potter and Tolkien’s the Lord of the Rings, I learned by means of stories the meaning of escapism - to visit worlds (secondary worlds) that make you forget the unpleasantness of our time - to which I try to relate to in my practice. I have always been seeking material in these narratives but also in their revivalism in films and theme parks, as well as in gardens, playrooms and on the streets - places where children use toys and street chalk, cardboard and commonplace objects to create their very own world of imagination.
