Tove Bowyer was born in Frederikssund, Denmark
but has lived for most of her life in London,
although she now has a second home and workshop in Denmark and commutes between the two
places. She works in wood, usually simple
female forms which are often lifesize, with a very
smooth finish. She also works in stone

reliefs. She also works as an art model.
