Sculpture

Kathryn Zoppo

Nov 14, 2025
As a sculptor working in clay, I explore the intricacies of the human form—its beauty, vulnerability, and the layered stories it holds. My work combines artistic expression with subtle social and political commentary, inviting reflection and interpretation rather than making overt statements. I draw inspiration from my surroundings and the impactful work of fellow artists. […]

Gina Candelori

Nov 14, 2025
An artist is constantly observing, learning, and trying new things. We have things to say that words alone cannot express. While I am happy to engage the viewer’s intellect, I am trying to touch them on an emotional level. If the viewer misses my intended message but, finds their own story instead I consider it […]

Jim Oleson

Dec 2, 2024
From an early age I have enjoyed drawing and painting and “making things”. For many decades I designed and made furniture using wood as my medium. As I incorporated curves into the furniture designs, I began increasingly to visualize my furniture as sculptural objects. More recently, I decided to forego function altogether and have been […]

Ruth Parks

Dec 2, 2024
Ruth Parks is a multidisciplinary artist working acrylic paint, mixed media, and sculpture. Her artistic journey is a constant exploration, a playful dance between imagination and the diverse materials that fuel it. A jumble of wires can become the skeletal framework of an alien spacecraft, while a scrap of fabric transforms into the wings of a […]

Ellison Goodwin

Nov 1, 2021
My natural process is to sculpt intuitively. Since my formal training, my ceramic practice has been focused primarily on exploring two distinct alternative firing processes outside of the electric kiln. I’m a bit of a”firebug” alternating between using wood kilns and also the raku process (gas kiln and igniting combustibles like sawdust or paper shreds […]

Hamidou Sissoko

Feb 8, 2021
I’m a person who learns from my hands. I was born in Mali, West Africa and grew up fixing cars and bikes. As I got older, I worked on various construction projects. People would ask me to fix simple machines. As I learned more and more, I started fixing more complex equipment. We never wasted […]

Selden Lamoureux

Aug 5, 2020
My connection to clay was as instantaneous as it was unexpected.  From the first, I had a strong sense of its vocabulary and grammar, and have been in conversation with it ever since. I have worked in clay for over forty years. In the early 1980s I received an AA in Production Crafts from Haywood […]

William Moore

Aug 4, 2020
William Moore may describe his sculptural work in marble, ceramic, stone, wood, and bronze as creations depicting elements ranging from the sublime to the hilarious, but his level of craft exceeds expectations just as his choice of material quality rebukes whimsical commentary. His blend of an obviously crisp, intimate familiarity with human form into impossible contortions […]

Annabelle Stein

Aug 4, 2020
“Original fabric design created using a variety of screen and hand printing techniques, sewn, stitched, and embellished, made into one-of-a-kind scarves and wearables, wall pieces, and other items. Small scale cement sculptures.  And I twine little baskets while waiting for cement and fabrics to dry. My work is a play of color, pattern, and texture. […]

Drawing a line with ink is simple. Drawing a line with electricity is alive. This line moves on its own accord, leaving a creative trail in its path, and burns charred channels in the wood. High-voltage woodburning is a new method of passing electricity over the surface of wood to create branching patterns called Lichtenberg […]

Julio Alberdi

Aug 3, 2020
My works are very personal, and each has its own identity based upon my deeply rooted interests in art, history, and music. They are often abstractions from themes that include reclining figures, torsos, and “heroes”. I have works, large and small, in wood, stone, steel, and bronze. Some pieces rotate; others are on fixed bases. […]

Cally Curtis

Apr 13, 2020
What inspires me? Quite simply, it’s the people and places I’ve known in my life through living and travelling in various parts of our world. These many vivid experiences continuously influence and shape my work. Design. Quiet moments. Folklore. The art of other cultures. Nature itself. Perspective. Colors. Atmosphere. The play of light. The folds […]

From my studio uphill from the Haw River, my work conveys immersion in nature as journal observations, paintings, and sculptures. As a child I collected rocks, shells, and animal bones on walks in the woods or on the beach. I still have that cigar box of natural treasures, along with the feeling of wonder for […]
