Imogen Palmer

Imogen was born in London in 1980 into a world dominated by art. Her mother was a talented painter and sculptress who worked only to private commissions for her own pleasure, spending most of her time with her three young children. Her father was a music historian, and the family spent many happy summers travelling around Europe attending concerts and opera, and learning about the world. While her brothers were shepherded around scores of galleries, protesting all the way, Imogen was mesmerised by the art she was shown in the Uffizi, the Prado and the Louvre, and her artistic education was given a strong foundation.
