Following her arrival in Australia from Lithuania in 1951, Ieva Pocius was the first student to major in Sculpture at the South Australian School of Art. She went on to lecture part-time at the school for over a decade, whilst at the same time exhibited in Australia and overseas including the USA and Canada. Her life-size statue of Catherine Helen Spence in Light Square, Adelaide, remains one of her most significant works.
