Alice Sheppard Fidler (b.1966, Birmingham, UK) is a contemporary artist based in Gloucestershire and London. Her multidisciplinary practice spans sculpture, installation, performance, and digital technologies, combining ready-made and found materials such as chairs, doors, wallpaper, and velvet with raw construction materials including timber, corrugated sheet, and brick. She is best known for her site-responsive approach, minimalist aesthetic, and the repurposing of the visual language of stage and set design.

Sheppard Fidler’s work explores fragile and often imperceptible boundaries between place, human experience, and states of being. Characterised by spatial sensitivity and material tension, her installations frequently emerge through direct engagement with historically charged or transitional sites. Significant projects include Leave, stay, arrive with works developed during a residency in a derelict former brewery and comrades’ club in the Cotswolds (2020); Imagining the fluidity of permanence with responses to an abandoned seventeenth-century nobleman’s house in a textile region of northern Italy at Casa Regis Centre for Culture and Contemporary Art (2022); and a residency creating works such as That which we cannot count for a group exhibition at Portland Sculpture and Quarry Trust, Dorset (2025), responding to the isle’s heavily quarried landscape.

Alice Sheppard Fidler was the recipient of The Gilbert Bayes Award from the Royal Society of Sculptors (2023) and the CAS Emerging Sculpture Award (2023). She has exhibited in solo presentations including Soho Open Solo Presentation at GPS Gallery, London (2026); Corresponding Forms at Among the Pines + Berdoulat, Bath (2026); Present Imperfect at Both Gallery Project Space, London (2025); and Imagining the Fluidity of Permanence at Casa Regis, Italy (2022). She was selected as a finalist for the Mother Art Prize at the Zabludowicz Collection, London (2023), presenting a large-scale sound installation as part of the group exhibition, and selected for the exhibition Stroud Sensation at Pangolin Gallery, Stroud (2026). Her work is held in private collections nationally and internationally, and she has participated in residencies including Bow Arts, London, PADA Studios, Portugal, and Casa Regis, Italy.
