Profile

1953 - I was born on Christmas day, Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany. When I was around three years old, my mother and I moved to America where she married Stanley Kubrick.

From 1960 the Kubrick family travelled a great deal between the US and the UK following my father’s film projects, the result of which being that I attended a great many schools, both in New York and London. After my A-Levels at King Alfred School in Hampstead, I went to study art at the Byam Shaw School of Drawing and Painting in London .

In 1973/4 I took a break from art school to travel to Ireland and work as location photographer on "Barry Lyndon". It was on one of the sets that I started sketches for my "Sparks" painting. After one year I returned to Byam Shaw for a bit, but ended up looking for locations again for "Barry Lyndon" all over the U.K.

In 1975 I studied the history of Architecture with Patrick Reyntiens at Burleighfield House, and continued to paint. In 1976 I was employed as art dept assistant working for Ken Adam on the Bond film "The Spy Who Loved Me". One of my jobs as the art dept assistant was to design the teeth for "Jaws"!

I then worked on TV commercials and films variously as prop designer, draughtswoman, location photographer, set painter, model maker and art director; including "Moonraker", "Midnight Express", "Sphinx", "The Muppet Movie", "The Dark Crystal", "Saturn 3", "Supergirl", and "The Shining".

I left the film industry in 1984 when I married. I have three sons. In 1987 I started painting again.

I now paint full time and also teach oil painting together with my mother Christiane Kubrick. I have demonstrated painting at "Art in Action" near Oxford, and at home, where I also have a permanent exhibition of my work on display.
