Olive Wootton was born in Lewisham in 1932. She studied at Goldsmiths College of Art in 1948, where she graduated with first class honours. She attended Royal College of Art in 1953 where she was taught by the renowned sculptor John Skeaping, and in 1955 was represented in the Young Contemporaries exhibition in London. Although Olive has exhibited throughout her life, it is since the untimely death of her painter husband, Gordon, that she has returned to sculpture with a renewed energy. She has exhibited with a number of galleries, societies and selected groups and has enjoyed considerable success with individual shows, in the UK and overseas.
In 1992 she was elected an Associate Member of the Royal Society of British Sculptors and in recent years has shown at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibitions. She lives and works at her studio in an attractive area of rural Northamptonshire.
