Anneke Bogardus sculptures embody nature and the human touch. Each piece is sculpted by hand, allowing the composition to naturally form as it is felt. Anneke has always been inspired by nature as it evolves through the seasons and in life. Each piece is a physical interpretation of a subject morphing from one state to the next. Anneke’s style is unique in that her finger strokes can be seen as they make any movement on the clay’s surface. The glazes for each piece vary between natural crackles, metallics, blues, and matt surfaces reacting to the firing. Anneke is a New Jersey born, New York based artist. She began sculpting animals with clay at the age of 5 in the local arts center. Anneke studied at the Parsons School of Design focusing on the sculptural elements of fashion. She also studied with distinguished artists and designers, such as Nick Mackman, Maor Zabar, and Carlos Falchi. Anneke’s pieces have been sold locally and internationally, with clients from New York to Japan. Anneke works with ceramics, metal, glass, skins, polymers, live plant materials, among others - any medium to create. Her latest work is in ceramics, focused on sculptures made from differing clay bodies and natural glazes. Her work is completely hand-made in her studio in Greenpoint, Brooklyn or at the Long Beach Island Arts Foundation where she maintains an arts residency. Anneke’s love for all things sculptural, nature based, flora, and for animals are always reoccurring themes in any body of work.

Reawakening the Spirit
By Sherry Owens
Located in New Orleans, LA
Sherry Owens Reawakening the Spirit, 2019 Crepe myrtle, steel, milk paint, dye, oil, wax 108 1/2 x 36 x 31 inches For over 30 years, sculptor Sherry Owens has used the sinewy crepe myrtle tree to tell her story of the Texas landscape, death, renewal, beauty, and of today’s growing environmental concerns. Remnants of personal stories, visions and observations in nature are the driving forces in her work. She believes that what we see and do in our daily lives leaves a mark on our planet. It is the direct impact of human activities on the natural world, which is visualized in her artistic practice. She creates connections with nature using crepe myrtle trees found along the side of the road. Each stick is hand-carved and cut to fit, then laid in place and secured with a small myrtle peg. What takes precedence in the laborious process is the importance of detail and evidence of the artist’s hand and her interaction with the materials. Sherry Owens is a native Texan, currently living and working in Dallas, TX. She received a BFA from Southern Methodist University. Recent Texas solo exhibitions include The Grace Museum; Cris Worley Fine Arts; Martin Museum of Art; Art Museum of Southeast Texas; and a two-person site-specific installation at the Umlauf Sculpture Garden & Museum. She was also included in recent exhibitions at the Amon Carter Museum of American Art, TX and the Ogden Museum of Southern Art, LA. She has exhibited internationally in Austria, Denmark, Germany, Greece, India, Japan, Peru, and Turkey. Her work is currently on view in the Ground Zero 360 Remembrance Exhibition at the Museum of Biblical Art...
