Jeni Fairey

Jeni started her art career with a foundation course in Art and Design at Braintree College followed by an HND in Figurative Sculpture at Stafford College and a BA(Hons)Degree in Fine Art (sculpture) at Loughborough College of Art and Design. During these years of study Jeni developed a passion for figurative sculpture, initially inspired by trips to the Acropolis in Athens and the Vatican,Rome, homes to some of the world's most beautiful ancient Greek and Roman figurative sculpture and architecture. Jeni joined the Tussauds Studios as a contract sculptor in 1999 and continued to work there for eight years, becoming a senior sculptor for the last three of those. This role entailed sculpting portraits and bodies from sittings or research material as well as international travel, leading the Studios sittings team to photograph and measure dozens of celebrities.
 Jeni’s sculpture is informed by her interest in Anatomy which she has studied in many forms including as part of her Yoga teacher training; a Massage therapy qualification as well at University College Hospital’s  “Anatomy for Artists” course.

Jeni currently works as a freelance sculptor from her own studio creating a wide range of commissioned work.
