Beatrice Hoffman has worked as a sculptor since her sculpture degree 1986-89 at
the Norwich School of Art, mainly modelling in clay and plasticine, but also
carving in stone, wood, plaster, polystyrene and expandable foam. Originally
from Germany, she has settled in a small village near Oxford, where she sculpts
in her conservatory studio , and under a gazebo in the summer. As you can see
from her website gallery, the sizes of her sculptures vary from domestic small
figures for windowsills, chimney breasts and coffee tables to middle sized
(60-90 cm tall) garden und indoor sculptures on plinths or furniture, and
freestanding life-size large public and private commissions 200 cm high,
suitable for gardens, large interior reception halls and offices. A few of her
sculptures can be found in the gallery “The Art Agency” in Esher near London. To
buy a sculpture, you can also approach her directly via phone, video/zoom or
email; or alternatively arrange a studio visit. Once a year in May she opens her
studio with “Oxford Arts Weeks” (OAW) . You can find the retail prices of
sculptures beside the individual sculpture images on this website; this price

for larger sculpture only) and tax (VAT and Local destination Tax duty) are NOT

bronze-resin casts; bronze casts can be commissioned , with a 50% downpayment
and on average, a six weeks lead-time. If necessary and possible, she can advise
on siting a newly-bought sculpture and the choice of plinths.
