Digby Veevers-Carter, born 1966. Although he was born in England, his earliest memories are of the Seychelles located off the east coast of Africa where his family operated a turtle and coconut farm. His grandfather, the American writer Clarence Day, wrote the autobiographical Life with Father (1935), which detailed humorous episodes in his family’s life centering on his domineering father during the 1890s in New York City.
The Veevers-Carter family left the Seychelles and returned to England in the early 70s. In 1989, Veevers-Carter received a degree in History from York University. He subsequently moved to New York City to pursue a career in sculpting. While living and working in New York, Veevers-Carter immersed himself in the arts and studied sculpture, painting, and drawing.
Veevers-Carter began his career carving stone. He transitioned to modeling with clay where he found greater artistic freedom defining
