When
Cynthia was in her middle 40s with only her youngest child still at school,
she went as a mature student first to evening classes, then on foundation
courses during which she discovered how much she preferred sculpture
and working in the round than painting. After
an enforced gap, she returned to studying sculpture developing and
refining the necessary skills to transfer the beauty and strength
she can see in animals and birds, whilst simultaneously trying to
capture their nature and energy into a static three-dimensional form
in wax which is then cast in bronze or resin. Elected a member of the Society of Women Artists in 2007, she also carves wood and stone in abstract forms and particularly the twists and turns of spiral forms. She added, "I like all my sculptures to appear to be in motion." www.cynthialewis-sculptor.com Next Artists Page > All images are protected by copyright |
