About the Item

Drake Texas Artist Image Size: 26 x 10 x 10 Medium: Bronze "Ohitika II" Biography Drake Drake Bio and Artist's Statement Bronze sculpture, Western art, human and animal, horse art, equine art, equine sculpture, horse sculpture, sculptures of dancers, bronze dancers, fine art, sculpture, bronzes Drake lives on a ranch near Glen Rose, Texas. Originally hailing from a small ranching community in northwestern Colorado, she has been around horses most of her life. After retiring from the medical industry in 2008, she devoted herself to a year of studying three-dimensional portraiture. After that, she focused on figurative art, taking multiple workshops at Scottsdale Artist's School. She works with both water- and oil-based clays, and creates realistic figures of the athletic human form, horses and other animals. Her work has been accepted into juried competitions such as: Bosque Art Classic, the American Academy of Equine Art Museum show, The Texas Masters of Fine Arts and Crafts, the Breckenridge Fine Art Show, the Mountain Oyster Show, Little Rock's "Sculpture at the River market", Cattlemen’s Western Art Show Loveland Sculpture in the Park, and the Museum of Western Art Awards include "Best of Show" 2016, at Breckenridge Fine Art ShowIn 2017, the Museum of Western Art in Kerrville, Texas acquired one of Drake's pieces for permanent exhibition. In 2019 and 2020, Drake was selected to be one of two sculptors who taught elite art students at the Western Art Academy at Schreiner University, Kerrville Texas. Artist's Statement What is "ART" if it doesn't arouse strong emotion from the viewer? I strive to express strength, grace, motion, rhythm, and beauty. Working in the mediums of both water- and oil-based clays, I look for topics that will allow me to express symmetry, balance, rhythm, and motion, as well as beauty. My subject matter comes from my own imagination. I have always been an animal lover, and I have always been fascinated with the grace, beauty, and strength of true athletes. My favorite tool is a kitchen paring knife - because almost all that needs to be expressed in the clay can be expressed with slices and angles made by that knife. Taking an idea from my imagination through the foundry process is so very much like having a child. That is what art is about. Creating life where there was only clay before. There is beauty and symmetry everywhere out there, waiting to be captured and celebrated.

  • "SAM HOUSTON" HORN CARVING 1936 TEXAS CENTENNIAL AMAZING WORK
    Located in San Antonio, TX
    Dan Super "SAM HOUSTON" (1873-1953) Houston Artist Image Size: 3 3/4 inches tall Medium: Carved Horn of Sam Houston to celebrate the Texas Centennial. Texas Centennial 1936 "Sam Houston Pin Cushion Holder" Biography Dan Super (1873-1953) Dan E. Super, Jr. (1873 – 1953) Dan Super had the eye of a sculptor, envisioning and then creating hundreds of objects from the elongated form of a Texas Longhorn’s tusk. At the age of six, Dan Super carved his first drawing into a piece of the horn of a Texas Longhorn. Over the next 56 years, he made utilitarian pieces like pencil cups, pin cushions, and backscratchers, realistic replicas of animals and birds, and imaginative carvings of elegant nudes. While these carvings resemble the traditional art of scrimshaw, carvings from whale bone, we’ve not been able to identify another carver who used the Texas Longhorn as his material. “My work is done with an ordinary pocketknife, hacksaw file and rasp,” Super wrote in 1937. He used the horn in every way conceivable; whole, allowing the shape to define the object he was making, flattened to make mosaic or inlay work. He incised and pierced it and carved in the round. His own hands polished the horn to a sheen. Daniel Super, Jr. was born in Houston on August 22, 1873. His father owned stock years, D. Super and Brothers Co., providing the young Super with ready access to his raw material. Throughout his life, he worked in the businesses key to the identity and success of young, booming Houston, cattle, oil, real estate and rail. In 1896 he married Lula, and took over the family business, expanding it to include a grocery. He closed the company in 1912 and got into the oil business...
