Sandy Graves
Breakaway AP2/35

About the Item

Born in Colorado and raised in Nebraska, Sandy Graves first forayed into the art world by presenting work as a child and 4-H member at local county fairs. As she continued her education at Colorado State University in Fort Collins, Graves experimented with a large variety of different mediums, but continuously found herself revisiting bronze sculpture. She fell in love with the warmth and beauty of the medium, as well as the intimate interactions and contact viewers have with bronzes. Graves hopes for her work to remind viewers of special memories. A life-long equestrian, Graves has recently begun to sculpt abstract equine forms to compliment the wildlife and human figures that comprise much of her portfolio. Each sculpture -whether a long-legged horse, a miniature rabbit, or a group of cyclists in a packed peloton- is carefully finished with unique and elegant patina that augments the whimsy and emotion of the piece.

Bat with Side Swept Bean Pod
By Copper Tritscheller
Located in Napa, CA
A self-taught sculptor, Copper is drawn to what she considers the “misunderstood” animal, and much of her work centers on bats and burros. Pushing the barrier between animal and human, she approaches her subjects from all angles, playing on them as animals, and morphing them with human figures. Copper was first inspired to sculpt bats when she was visiting a temple in Chachongsao, Thailand, where she encountered hundreds of thousands of bats hanging above her, wings gently quivering. Copper remembers that she had never thought about bats before, but at that moment she was captivated and started to research them. The more she learned, the deeper her respect for these marvelous creatures, and the more she wanted to find a way to help people understand and appreciate them. In her bat sculptures...
