Caro Burberry MRSS
Caro Burberry is a contemporary sculptor living and working in Suffolk, having grown up in rural Buckinghamshire.
Caro casts in bronze and iron. She says, “My work is about intimate relationship with nature and landscape; it explores a sense of joined destiny and belonging between humans and the rest of the natural world.” Caro discovered her love for creating sculpture in hot-poured metal while working collaboratively with fine art foundries and museums in the UK and USA. She says, “I’m fascinated by the ritual of the pour, the transmutation of raw earthly matter into timeless form". Caro received a classical training at The Frink School of Figurative Sculpture, where her mentors included Alan Thornhill and Peter Randall-Page RA. Complementing her own studio practice, Caro has led specialist creative workshops for over 25 years and been a guest lecturer at De Montfort University.
