Curriculum Vitae Sebastian J. Pedley

Born: 23.01.1971, Jesenice, Slovenia. British and Slovene National

Personal Profile

My background in caricature and sculpture/making have resulted in my current painted generic portraits. The composition of the work is often akin to the snap shot photograph executed in a limited palette. I attempt to balance my own creative practice with domestic and commercial interior design, furniture and architectural making and exhibition installation in art galleries.

I also provide skilled technical support for other artists to help them realise their work.
