SANDY GRAVES

Sandy Graves is a bronze
sculptor working with
negative and positive space,
with her subject matter
mostly being of wildlife
and the occasional human
form. “Living in the Rocky
Mountains gives me all of the
inspiration I need to create
the attitudes of the animals
that live surrounding me,” she
says. “I spend all of the time
that I can outside in nature.”
Currently Graves has been
playing with bright colors
in her patina with a dark
marbling underneath, which
she calls her Bold Series.
Graves elaborates, “This
exciting coloration pushes
these pieces into a more
modern direction that plays
well with the modern building
materials of concrete, steel
and glass.”
March 1 to 3, Graves’
sculptures will be on view
at the Renaissance Hotel
& Convention Center in

Tulsa, Oklahoma, during

the annual NatureWorks

Art Show and Sale. Later in

the month her pieces will

be available as part of the

Desert Caballeros Western

Museum’s annual Cowgirl

Up! The opening weekend for

the event happens March 29

to 31. Then, August 9 to 11,

Graves will have her annual

showcase at the Loveland,

Colorado-based Sculpture

in the Park at the Benson

Sculpture Garden.
