Barbara Tribe (1913-2000) was an Australian-born sculptor who spent much of her life living and working in St Ives in the UK. In 1935, Tribe was the first sculptor and the first female artist to win the coveted New South Wales Travelling Art scolarship.

Tribe was one of the earliest students to study under Rayner Hoff at East Sydney Technical College. Hoff, an English immigrant was to become Australia’s most successful interwar artist. Tribe continued her studies at the Royal Academy Schools in London.

She remained in Britain and embarked upon a long, active career as a sculptor and teacher. Tribe’s work is strongly influenced by the vitalist principles which governed her early Australian mentors and the themes of sexual energy, regeneration and growth.
