Chris Mikulasek M.C. Mikulasek specializes in figure and portrait sculptures and drawings. She drew her way through sun drenched childhood in the southern Sierra mountains, studied briefly at L.A. Art Center School, then trained in college as a structural engineer and architect. In 1972, while satisfying a lifelong curiosity about how marble is carved, she began, for the first time, to model figures in clay. As the clay dried and the figures cracked, Chris became very interested in lost-wax casting. She worked at an art foundry to thoroughly learn the craft, and for many years cast here own bronze. In her quiet and deliberate way, Chris has crafted a powerful body of work which includes numerous corporate and private commissions. Her emotionally-driven creative sculptures are in collections around the world. At her studio on San Juan Island, Washington, she continues to explore and express the dignity and beauty of the human spirit, using as her vehicle the human figure, in all its' breathtaking strengths and grace and sensuality. In 1998 Chris Mikulasek was awarded the prestigious Alex Ettl Price by the National Sculpture Society for "notable achievement in American sculpture through a distinguished body of work." Her current work includes sculpting a life-size mother and child and the completion of commissioned work. Kimberley T. Gallery and Sculpture Garden displays a diverse collection of sculptures, glass, and fine art. View the process of bronze casting at the Bronze Works Foundry. Currently working on a life-size 7' "Home" that will be pointed up (enlarged) at THE BRONZE WORKS and cast in the foundry this spring. "Equus"
