Having worked as a miner and fisherman in Cornwall, Denis Mitchell was initially a
painter but became renowned for his sculpture in the 1940’s. Mitchell was the principle
assistant to Barbara Hepworth, who was a major influence on his work. Conor Fallon
became friends with Mitchell in the early 50’s and he was a supporter of Conor’s work.
