Kelly's Gymnast

My artist/sculpture friend, Kelly Borsheim is off in Italy again, working hard on her art.  She can use those carving tools and paint brushes with style.  Have a look at her "Gymnast" and read how it was created and carved.  You can see it in person in Dripping Springs, Texas.  Not too far from Austin.  Check out her website and blog.  You may remember her from previous posts when she was painting on the sidewalks in Italy.  Probably more of that on the way, don't you think?

Sculpture

Michael Fay, Fire and Ice, completed his sculpture, "The Grenadier".  It is amazing and so true to life with great gesture and features.  You better go have a look see!

Kelly Borsheim, Open Studio

Kelly Borsheim is an incredible artist. Kelly is having her studio open on February 6 and 7 in Cedar Creek, Texas. Near me, so I may actually get to visit with her a little. She has been studying and living in Italy part of the year so our visits are few and far between. Her sculpture work is so full of life and energy. Please make an effort to see this beautiful work in person, you will not be disappointed. Her website is full of information and beautiful photos, but in person the art is wonderful!

Sculptor, Kelly Borsheim

I have been remiss in sharing a new link to Kelly Borsheim's blog. She started her blog in September and I forgot about it until a few weeks ago. Sorry. (That is what happens when you use two computers and forget to transfer your blog reader links.) Kelly is in Italy. She lives in Cedar Creek, near Bastrop. She is an amazing artist. Her nude sculptures are so wonderful and she sculpts sea life as well. I think her bronze turtles would swim and walk if taken off their stands.

during Art on the Bridge. She was the featured artist for October.

I met Kelly about 8 years ago, I think. She was at the Harvest Art Fest in Austin. Sometime after that she joined the Guild so we were able to share her knowledge and see her work up close and in person. Now she is so busy we rarely see her. I doubt I will get to Italy any time soon. How about you?

Kelly is a dedicated and fascinating artist. She studies, researches, and applies all her knowledge to her art career. Have a look at her web page and blog. You will be impressed at all the information and photos she shares with us. She writes enthusiastically and prolifically.

You are warned, so go get you a cup of coffee before you start and come back here afterwards and let me know what you think.
