Resume
After graduating in 1995 from the University of Melbourne (Bachelor of Art) and the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (Bachelor of Fine Art -Sculpture) in 1998 Maudie pursued a career in the Film and Television Industry and over the course of the next 12 years learnt a wide range of skills within the Art and Construction Departments where she developed a love for sculpting.
Realising there was much more to learn specifically about figurative sculpture she sought out some of the best training on offer in 2013 at the Florence Academy of Art. In 2016 she completed the Figurative Sculpture Diploma at FAA with a student teaching scholarship, and taught for one further year as a Principal Instructor in Sculpture Drawing as well as assisting in Ecorché Sculpture. In 2018 she became a Principal Instructor for the Sculpture Program as well as becoming Director of Anatomy and Ecorché Sculpture in late 2019.

Freelance career
Before shifting over to art and sculpure as my profession I worked most of the time as a freelance sculptor in the Film and Television Industry. This is my CV from those 15 years – a couple of years my careers where overlapping. A page with galleries from my time in the film industry is here: Freelance Work.
