Audrey Kirby trained at Middlesex and Central St Martins and has exhibited widely in London and the Home Counties... She has also exhibited at several one man and group exhibitions and private commissions including a study of St Paul’s School Winchmore Hill and an exhibition at The Museum of Garden History Lambeth based on the wild gardens at Hatfield House. She has work exhibited in various gallery spaces, including, The Platform Gallery, Palmers Green N13 and Helios Gallery Warwickshire.
In order to show her work she has in the past also exhibited in Pubs, Tea Rooms, her own gallery and various unlikely spaces both in and out of doors.
She finds inspiration in both the landscape of East Anglia, in particular North Norfolk, and material conserved and displayed in museums and galleries which we regard as precious and which shapes our understanding of the past.

Her work is further influenced by a need to explore the related idea of loss, both emotional and material, our attitudes towards this concept and how it shapes our present beliefs and perspectives.
She finds the work of William Morris inspiring as well as others who understand the importance of history to cultural stability, but at the same time she is concerned that the understanding of our history is clouded by nostalgia and a sanitised vision of a past that never existed.
Her work is fired by a combination of these elements and is an attempt to prompt others into reconsidering the concepts that she continues to explore.
