Isabel H Langtry, Sculptor, Art Judge and Principal of Hampstead School of Art (London): Isabel studied at the Faculty of Art and Design at Hull University, Yorkshire, and then at St Martin’s School of Art, London, where her postgraduate studies under Katherine Gili, “probably the most important British sculptor today”, and the great painter Alan Gouk, shaped her sculptural discipline.

Her first major exhibition was held at the Whitechapel Education Gallery, Whitechapel High Street, London. She has worked with architects as well as scientists and is acclaimed for her series of recent commissions with Studio E Architects’ new building, Larmenier School in Brook Green, and Chameleon International Headquarters, Ealing. Isabel is a busy Art Judge and the Principal of Hampstead School of Art, London. www.hampstead-school-of-art.org
