Moira Schepel

British, born 1949 in Urambo, Tanzania, East Africa.

First influenced by her art-teacher while at the Kenya high (boarding school), taking art as a final subject.

Left Africa straight after her finals, degree work acquired for private collection of Jomo Kenyatta (first president of Kenya after independence) and had been granted a scolarship to go to art college in England. However ended up going to Nottingham and trained as a nurse.

Left for Holland 3 years later, continuing her interest in fine art as part-time activity. Continued with numerous workshops and intense courses, “Vrije Academie”, in pottery and sculpture.

Under the guidance of Karel Gomez, a well known sculptor in Holland, she took part in several exhibitions, formed her own art studio for other artists, organized exhibits and taught sculpture.

Now living in Spain where she once again teaches sculpture in stone/clay.

Working with bronze, stone and clay, stone has her preference. The rough structure and natural colours, working with raw materials, creating the soft forms of the human figure, are what inspires her.
