Barbara Tribe : sculptor
"Barbara Tribe has enjoyed a rich and fulfilling life and, now aged eighty-six, is still working in her Cornish studio. She was born in Australia in 1913 and, after studying sculpture under Rayner Hoff at East Sydney Technical College, received the New South Wales Travelling Art Scholarship. In 1935, Tribe left for England, where she has lived ever since, and established herself professionally. She also taught part-time for forty years at the Penzance School of Art." "She continues to exhibit with London's Royal Academy and in 1998 received the Jean Masson Davidson Medal - a prestigious international award for distinguished services and outstanding achievement - from the Society of Portrait Sculptors."--Jacket
