Veronica ( Ronnie) Sexton was born in County Cork, Ireland. She moved to England in 1988, and there, assisted by a grant from the Leche Trust, obtained her Higher Diploma and Graduateship in Woodcarving and Gilding at the City and Guilds of London Art School in 1994. She won the coveted William Wheeler Prize for Outstanding Work and was part of a selected group of artisans chosen to work on the five year restoration of Windsor Castle which had been severely damaged by fire. Since then she has worked on a number of commissions in Malaysia, Ireland, England, USA and Australia.

Since arriving in Australia Ronnie has allowed her strict classical training in Gothic, Baroque and Rococo woodcarving to evolve into a more relaxed, freer-flowing style. Ronnie predominantly works from salvaged timber from trees in the Dandenong Ranges that have blown down or have died a natural death.
