Biography
Beatrice Hoffman grew up in Munich/Germany, and arrived in the UK more than 30 years ago.She completed a sculpture degree at the Norwich School of Art. Under the tutelage and inspiration of the Brazilian sculptor Ana Maria Pacheco, the head of art school at the time, Beatrice Hoffman created many of her early carved wooden and stone figures.
After a postgraduate art therapy degree, she has divided her time between sculpting, sculpture teaching and working as an art therapist in special schools. She raised two sons, and as they have both grown up, she can devote herself more to her sculpture
Beatrice Hoffman has a well established studio practice and technical expertise. Sculptures are modelled directly in clay or for the larger scale pieces, a steel armature is manufactured, covered with chicken wire, foam pieces and expandable foam, onto which the clay is applied. Such works are then cast into bronze or bronze resin. Wood and stone carving is also evident within her portfolio.
An interest in SiteSpecific and Public Art has led to success in being commissioned to create a large scale sculpture to be permanently installed beside the main entrance of a hospital
