Biography
Tansy studied Fine Art in Leeds and gained an MA in Photography at London's the Royal College of Art in 1984.

A British Council Academic Research Award to Prague in 1990 led to a number of exhibitions and exchanges between Middlesex University, where Tansy is a Senior Lecturer in Fine Art, and students at FAMU (Film, Television and Photography Academy in Prague). Her resulting Prague Portrait series was shown at F-Stop Gallery in Bath, In Prague and Cheb on the German border and at the Zelda Cheatle Gallery in London.

Shows of other work followed at Kladno, Czech Republic in 1997, The British Embassy in Brussels in 1998 and the Brixton Art Gallery in 1999 where her Objects show provided the impetus for the collaborative Real Things project, website and exhibition at Photofusion, London in 2000. Work also featured in a show in Perm, Russia and a joint show in a castle in Bohemia in July 2000.

Images have been purchased for several collections including the National Media Museum, Bradford and the Museum of Fine Art in Houston, Texas. Her work has been used commercially by many major publishers for book and CD covers and editorially.
