"I chose bronze as my medium because it is the material best
suited for my work, which favors open forms that incorporate movement,"
says the multi-award-winning sculptor, Elaine Franz Witten. "My
training," she asserts, "has enabled me to see with discerning
eyes, form, texture, composition and colors." Witten attended
childhood art classes at the Cleveland Museum of Art, majored in
art first at Connecticut College, in New London, and then at New
York’s Columbia University, where she discovered sculpture.
Anatomy classes taken at a nursing school proved an invaluable asset
in her exploration of the possibilities of figurative sculpture;
Witten also studied with Jane Armstrong at The Carving Studio and
Sculpture Center. Her work is in public, private and corporate collections
across North America, as well as in the private collection of the
King of Saudi Arabia. |
