Biography
Sculptor Karen Tulloch was born in Ballarat. She studied in London and at the East Sydney Technical School under Rayner Hoff. While in Perth she shared a studio in Howard Street with Connie Barrett. She exhibited plaster busts in the 1930s. She moved to Melbourne with her mother and brother just before World War II where she met and married Neville Wigan. She worked for the Red Cross during the war as a 'Hand Craft’ teacher. She taught hand weaving and became fascinated with the craft, buying a large loom and making wall hangings. One wall hanging was purchased for the National Gallery of Victoria. Her 1937 sculpture of her neighbour’s nine-year-old daughter Judith was cast in bronze in 2008 and installed near to the entrance to the studio in Howard Street.
