Tanya Petersen CV - Download Word Version Artist Statement After leaving college I set up a Workshop in London working as a self- employed sculptor and scenic artist. This involved a great diversity of briefs requiring a wide knowledge of materials and techniques. My partner and I then started a family and moved to Wales. The Creative Spiral is a product of our knowledge and background and desire to design and make beautiful pieces of Art and Craft.
