Axel originally trained as a landscape architect and has worked in Australia and overseas on a range of landscape projects. In 1999 he took over the position of Site Manager to help out for a month or so with what was then a 3 day exhibition. Nine years later and he is now a devotee of Sculpture in all its forms. Sculpture by the Sea's varying exhibitions and projects offer the perfect marriage between the technical and artistic aspects of working with the landscape.

Often seen striding purposefully with a clipboard under his arm, Axel (aka Captain Issues) loves to have Bondi as his second office for a few months a year. "Off to the office..."

She has extensive experience as a visual art teacher, which includes time spent in indigenous communities and the special needs sector. Her favourite part of Sculpture by the Sea is the kick that kids of all ages get out of meeting the artists, and seeing them develop their own artworks inspired by the sculptures and the amazing site.

Louise also enjoys swimming, gardening and flamenco dancing.

Annalyse is proud to be part of such an iconic Australian Arts event and very much looking forward to visiting The Big Apple in July.

Hailing most recently from the Big Apple, Jennifer has worked in the arts for the past 15 years.  With a BA in Art History, Jen moved to New York City to immerse herself in the culture and art scene, trying her hand in both the for-profit and non-profit sectors.  Later she went on to get her Masters degree in Arts Administration from New York University.  Working with everything from photography and contemporary art to traditional Chinese art, Sculpture by the Sea represents Jennifer’s first foray into world of sculpture.  Currently loving living in Bondi, Jen is fully enjoying life at the beach and all that Sydney has to offer.

Caitlin has completed a Bachelor of Design with the College of Fine Arts, UNSW, majoring in Jewellery and Environments.  She initially started working with Sculpture by the Sea during the 2007 Bondi Exhibition, undertaking part of her internship.

Although born in Sydney, Caitlin grew up in Launceston in Tasmania and enjoys heading back home when she can…mainly for the lack of traffic jams, cheap parking tickets and Boags on tap. 

She is also a passionate snow skier and is ultimately aiming for a lifestyle that involves endless winters, plenty of skiing and a bit of design work thrown in to satisfy her creative instincts (and to help pay the bills)…but for now she is really excited to be working with such a great group of people, learning more and more about the world of sculpture and getting to spend a couple of weeks of the year working at Bondi Beach.
