Daisy Theresa Borne

Daisy Theresa Borne (18 July 1906 –1998) was a British sculptor.

Biography Borne was born in London but travelled extensively as a child with her family and for a time lived in Moline, Illinois in the United States where her father owned a printing ink business. Her mother's occupation is not recorded. Borne returned to Britain and studied sculpture at the Regent Street Polytechnic and also developed her singing ability to the extent she was offered, but refused, professional roles. In 1933, she met Joyce Bidder, (1906–1999), who taught her to carve and with whom she set up a studio in Wimbledon in south London that they maintained together for some fifty years. She is also mentioned in an informal history of the 'Borne Regatta'.

Borne worked in a wide variety of materials, including plastic, marble, stone and wood to produce statuettes, figurines, fountains and works in relief. Borne was also, between 1932 and 1962 a regular exhibitor at the Royal Academy in London.
