Stephanie Dubois graduated in 2006 from Bucks New University with a BA (Hons) Fine Art Practice, followed by a year’s post graduate study at University of Hertfordshire.  Currently living in Milton Keynes, Stephanie has just an MA History of Art programme at University of Reading. Her research explored the relationship between gender, ideology and culture with regard to how women artists have been inscribed into art history. Particular interests included self-portraiture and depictions of the female nude by women artists in the nineteenth and twentieth century and women’s sculptural practice in the twentieth and twenty first century. http://laughingtorso.blogspot.co.uk/
