The daughter of an Irish vet, Jan Sweeney grew up in the open countryside of East Anglia, on the east coast of England. Her early training was at Colchester Art School, and she followed this with three years working in Verona, Italy, under sculptor Mike Noble. She first visited Africa in 1985, where the African scene and wildlife had a powerful influence on her work.
