About the Artist

Tanya Ashken was born hearing impaired and educated at the progressive co-educational boarding school Bedales where the arts were valued and where she learnt skills including woodwork. Ashken gained a silversmithing hallmark at the age of 13. At Central School of Arts and Crafts she did a three-year course which included life drawing, design, and silversmithing techniques. Brancusi is a key influence and she had her first experience of his work in Paris in 1960. In 1963, she moved to New Zealand with her partner artist John Drawbridge.
