Paula Haughney,sculptor, stone-carver, maker and teacher studied
at Portsmouth Polytechnic and Eastern Illinois university obtaining
a BA and MA in Fine Art Sculpture. Stone carving came later, once
found, she realised this was her chosen medium. Now having over 30
years experience and many monumental sculptures completed she has
taught at all levels, exhibits regularly and is included in public
collections worldwide.
I am very passionate about stone carving as a vehicle for making
sculpture and want to share my knowledge and skills. My aim is to
provide students with the capabilities to create their own personal
sculptural language.
History, a sense of place and purpose inspire commission
outcomes.
Experiences and life, combined with the material, sometimes
reclaimed, feed my personal creative journey. Looking at ancient
carvings provokes a thirst to improve my technique.
