WAOW Artistry of the West
The WAOW Artistry is slowly being built to provide a page on our site to promote each artist. This project began late summer 2024. We have over 300 members to load here on their pages. You can search by name, location or by subject matter to find an artist.
Pokey Park • Arizona & Colorado • waow
Pokey Park is a sculptor extraordinaire whose early and endearing love of both nature and art are the foundation for her whimsical, magical creations. Her kinship and communion with nature and its inhabitants results in uniquely stylized bronzes of animals of every size, shape and species. Pokey studies wildlife in natural habitats so she can get a feel for their personalities, not just their anatomy. Their personalities are extremely important for her to be able to give her sculpture a unique attitude. The environment they live in sets the mood for the finished sculpture.
Lori Kiplinger Pandy • Colorado • waow
Artist Lori Kiplinger Pandy sculpts with empathy and energy. She diligently researches and gets to know and understand her subjects before creating sculptures in stylized realism. She then brings a unique understanding of anatomy and balance to her subjects. With subtle changes in posture, gesture or weight distribution she conjures up feelings of tension, anticipation or repose, which tells a story with the image that captures the spirit of a person or of nature.
