ANNA MALVISI WHITE
(b. 1951, London, England)

Anna Malvisi White spent most of her childhood holidays in the British museum sketching the
toga draped Romans, muscular Greek gods and stylised ancient Egyptian carvings, gaining an
appreciation for the art of sculpting and a desire to learn the skills.

In the mid-1980s she enrolled in a life drawing and clay modelling class in London where she
was taught to study the shape and volume of every bone, muscle, and sinew of the human
body. While studying she tried stone carving, learning the skills that she still implements in her
work today.
