Sandy Graves

"Emotion, movement, and beautiful composition are the elements which I infuse into each of my sculptures. A sense of whimsical fun is the first impression, followed by the power that bronze evokes and the energy of the negative spaces. These sculptures are certainly a reflection of my experiences and soul."

Sandy Graves is one with her art. Raised in rural Nebraska and living in the mountains of Colorado, she has been surrounded by her inspirations since childhood. Sandy has departed from the traditional classical sculpture in which she was trained to create her own stylized forms. Her sculpture is fresh and lively, resonating with her love for life and all the joys that it has to offer.

Each sculpture is first created in clay or wax. The sculptures are then deconstructed, molded, cast using the lost wax process, and rebuilt piece by piece. The complexity of the negative spaces and hollows within each of Sandy's sculptures stretches the boundaries of traditional bronze casting techniques. Sandy hand patinas every piece and bases them to create an individual landscape for each.

Sandy received her degree in fine art with a concentration in sculpture from Colorado State University in 1993. Her first sculpture created in her current style came out of experimentation during her university years. Throughout the next 16 years, she worked with youth, creating art and building the inspiration and techniques from which her current sculptures have grown.

Beautiful work of art

This is my second piece that I have purchased of Ms. Graves work and each piece so captures the essence of joy and that indescribable bond between an animal and their "human" that only another animal/nature owner would understand.

The title of this piece "Leap" seemed so fitting as I enter into the next phase of my life and as we move thru the current times.

exquisite

Leap is the fourth Sandy Graves piece I have purchased, and I love it as much as I do the others. I didn't read the description about it before purchasing, and was delighted to find myself in complete agreement with the artist's thoughts. I had the same experience with my other purchases of her work. It is a wonderful and peace-inspiring experience to think about and resonate with the meaning of each sculpture. I get caught up in them.Thank you to the artist.

beautiful

I love the statue but did expect it to o be much larger and substantial. I will keep it as i love the look but think it would be more attractive and consistent with the price point if at least the base was wider. the handwritten note from the author was a nice touch.
