details about this work


Brenda Oakes is based in Neath Valley, Wales


Qualifying with a BA and MA in Fine Art Sculpture, Brenda's work has evolved from traditional drawing and sculpture to encompass a more research based and investigative practice. Materials, methods and processes are drawn upon solely to realise the idea and research into all three is determined by identifying the very best means of articulating the concept fully.
