Biography
Josephine Budd was born in 1961 in Norwich.[citation needed] She completed her Fine Art education in Newcastle University, then began practising her art and teaching at places like West Dean College.[1] She is known for her art work using quilts, collage and printing.[2] She has also used fabrics that she hand-dyed, using materials such as rust.[3]
Budd has worked on commissions,[4] and her work is in collections such as the Victoria and Albert Museum.[5] Budd's use of landscape in her work led Edexcel to recommend her as an artist for British Art and Design GCSE students to study in 2010.[6]
In 2024 she was involved, and her work was exhibited in a shop in Fakenham.[7]
