Jeannine Young

"When Jeannine Young was a small child she modeled birds out of her mom's canning wax.  Currently she enjoys utilizing unexpected shapes to describe familiar forms.  She is drawn to strength, flexibility and luster of metal.

"As I work, cutting, hammering and welding the metal, the personality of the subject emerges.  It can be dramatically affected by subtle changes in the angles and planes of the form.  The contrast of the sharp smooth surfaces against the rounded textured surfaces is enhanced by the warm, golden patina.  I strive to impart a feeling of inner strength and grace in my sculptures."

She attended Utah state University and then Washington University where she received a  BS in physical therapy.  After working several years, she attended
the Art Academy of Cincinnati.  Jeanne has been a full-time sculptor since 1985.
She is currently represented in galleries across the country.  Her work can be found in may public and private collections.
