As an educator and artist, I believe that schools have a fundamental obligation to provide the fuel
that will ignite the mind, spark the imagination, and illuminate the total being. The arts serve this
PARTICIPATING SCULPTORS
mission at Pingree, providing meaning to life in all its mystery, complexity, delight, and wonder.

MESSAGE FROM
OUR HONORARY CHAIRS:
J. DAVID AND BARBARA BROUDO
My wife and I are pleased to have been given the opportunity to be Honorary Chairs for the
seventh annual Pingree Flying Horse Outdoor Sculpture Exhibit, and that Pingree, with this exhibit,
supports the Arts. Oscar Wilde said, “the secret of life is in art.” The art of every civilization is
its most important contribution to history. The religious ideas, the system of government, the
scientific ideas of ancient civilizations are no longer accepted but their art is still a permanent
source of pleasure. Artists’ names have survived kings, Popes and governors. Books can’t make
Egypt, Greece, Persia, Rome alive as do carved stones, fragments of pottery, or frescoed walls.
Art is pure democracy in action. We are interested in what a person or culture produces, not
what color, religion or race he or she is. We admire African art, the Catholic art of El Greco, the
Protestant art of Durer, the endless brilliant Jewish artists, the Mexicans and Spaniards, Chinese
and Japanese, Poles and Russians.
What you can do, not what you are, is the lesson for the world.
J. David Broudo
TAYLOR APOSTOL
Born in Washington, DC, Taylor Apostol spent her
formative years living in Saudi Arabia, the Philippines,
and the suburbs of Philadelphia. She earned her
Bachelor’s degree in Studio Art from the University
of Vermont and MFA from Boston University. Taylor
creates sculptures in stone, wood, plaster, and steel
that range in scale from small and intimate to large
and confrontational. She currently lives and works in
the Boston area.
“In my work, I explore notions of memory and
physical presence. I am interested in how memories
of the body and surrounding environment are
captured, altered, and subsequently changed over
time. Through my sculptures, I translate the collected
and altered memories into physical objects that have
a likeness to the human body.”

ROBERT BLISS
JEFFREY BRIGGS
Robert Bliss, a self-taught sculptor, began his love of art in childhood. He was inducted into the
Rockport Art Association in 1991 as an artist member and has taught sculpture at RAA. He earned
an artist membership at the North Shore Arts Association in 1993. His most recent award was
the Ivan N. Kamalic Memorial Award for his Bearskin Neck Bear. As a member of the Rockport
Art Association, he has won several awards. He was awarded the Martha Moore Memorial Award
for his sculpture entitled “Nintendo,” a study of his son playing the game on his computer. He
also received the Richard Recchia Memorial Award for excellence in sculpture for a piece entitled
“Sunning.” The piece on display in this exhibit, Great Blue Heron, Ready to Strike, received the Jean
Tamburine Memorial Award for excellence in sculpture. His bronze Gorilla is on permanent display
at the Franklin Park Zoo, Boston, MA.
Partnering with a carousel frame company and a
fine art painter, Jeff Briggs designed and sculpted an
entirely new, custom carousel for the Rose Kennedy
Greenway in Boston. Instead of the traditional horses,
this carousel features rideable lobsters, cod fish, a
harbor seal, and a host of other creatures from the land,
sea, and air that can be seen on or around the Boston
Greenway. The carousel opened to the public in August
2013 and has been a major attraction ever since.
Robert also makes decorative tiles inspired by the
ocean and its shore. He sculpts the original work in
clay, makes a mold and hand presses the tiles. After
the bisque firing, he and his wife, Karen, glaze the tiles
and then they are fired a second time which brings
out the ocean-inspired signature color.

J. DAVID BROUDO
JODI CARLSON
J. David Broudo, born in Baltimore in 1920, earned a Bachelor’s degree in Ceramics/
Industrial Design from Alfred University in 1946 and a Master’s degree in Art Education
from Boston University in 1950. For his senior thesis at Alfred, he developed a method of
creating red glazes, similar to that of the great Chinese potters, so that the color subtly
shifts on the surface of pots.
Jodi Carlson is a metal sculptor who creates abstract
and semi-abstract art. She specializes in aluminum
welding and using repurposed materials such
as street signs, advertisements, and tools in her
sculptures. Her large scale work can be seen in public
at the Leonia Sculpture Park in Leonia, NJ, at City
Hall in Yonkers, NY, and at the municipal campus
of Clifton, NJ. She has also shown her work in a
variety of sites in the Tri-State area including William
Maxwell Fine Arts in Peekskill, NY, the Fraser Woods
Montessori School in Newtown, CT, and the Farm
Project in Garrison, NY. Jodi is commissioned by
private individuals to create sculptures frequently.
Although he was trained to make dinnerware prototypes for ceramics factories, David
took a different route and taught at Endicott College from 1946 until his retirement in
1997 where he chaired the Art Department. Under his leadership, the art department
grew to be the largest on campus.
David’s ceramic work has received international notice. A stoneware bowl is on
permanent display at The International Museum of Ceramics in Faenza, Italy. He was
one of 50 artists representing the U.S. at an international exhibition in Belgium when the
U.S. won the grand prize. In addition, there have been hundreds of exhibits of David’s
work, where he has often won top honors. His work is in private collections throughout
the United States, Europe, Africa, and Japan.

“First Position addresses my new found interest in
ballet. Over the last few years, I have been taking
ballet. Both dancing ballet and making sculptures
give me the sense that I am drawing in space. This
freestanding piece represents the movements of a
novice ballet student struggling to balance and get
into first position.”

“Working in stone both presents many challenges
and offers many rewards. Removing material in both
large and small amounts until what already exists
within the stone becomes visible is a process that
never ceases to fascinate me. The final result, whether
it be well developed in advance, or simply allowed to
occur during the removal process, breathes new life
into an object already in existence, many millions of
years. The durability of the material allows my work
to be displayed both in an interior as well as outdoor
setting.”

LARRY ELARDO
Larry Elardo jumped back into making ceramics 10+
years ago after a 30+ year hiatus. “My work is mostly
hand built and fellow potters refer to me as ‘the
texture guy.’ I love the infinite possibilities of clay.
The functional and sculptural clay objects I build
investigate the integration of form and surface. I’m
always on the lookout for man-made objects that will
help me create visually exciting surfaces.”
The clay that Larry uses has a high iron content and
remains unglazed, presenting a warm brown surface.
The embedded colors are under glazes, a mixture
of slip and pigment. His pieces are safe to remain
outside during New England winters.

SHAWN FARRELL
YETTI FRENKEL
Shawn Farrell, an artist and educator living in
Hamilton, MA, received a BFA from Hartwick College
where he specialized in glassblowing and bronze
foundry. He honed his techniques on the West Coast
working for various artists from Alaska to Mexico.
He has displayed his work in various galleries and
does many private commissions. Shawn prefers not
to limit himself to any one medium, but finds himself
continually drawn to working with glass and metal.
Yetti Frenkel earned a BFA from the School of the
Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and Tufts University.
Her work is in the collections of Boston Children’s
Hospital, the Lynn Museum, the Boston Public
Library, the Insignia Group. North Shore Community
College, and Massachusetts General Hospital. She
has exhibited throughout New England. Yetti often
works on collaborative public projects such as a large
history mural for the city of Lynn. She has illustrated
books of poetry and stories and served residencies in
middle and high schools, working with local residents
to create murals and mosaics.
“When you are accustomed to seeing something in
the same way day after day, you tend to forget the
beauty that is held within it. Within my work, I like to
take the observers to a place that they may have been
before but have not seen in such a way. This allows
viewers to experience new perspectives on their
world and their place in it. It allows them to find the
inherent beauty in all things.”

GEOFF FEDER
GINTS GRINBERGS
Geoff Feder is a Peekskill, NY artist who was born and raised in New York City. He graduated from
Kenyon College in 1996 with a B.A. in Studio Arts and then worked as an apprentice to sculptors

NY, “The Greatest Show on Earth” in Bedminster, NJ,
and with Collaborative Concepts in their Saunders
Farm project in Garrison, NY.
A lifelong packrat, Gints Grinbergs initially took
up welding at Brookline High School to learn how
to make sculpture out of all the great junk he had
encountered! (He sat next to Conan O’Brien in
Drawing 101, Class of 1981.) He earned his BFA and
BA (Architecture) at Rhode Island School of Design
and continued his studies at the School of the
Museum of Fine Arts and Mass Art. Gints’ work has
been exhibited throughout New England and beyond,
at venues including the DeCordova Museum, Fuller
Craft Museum, Stonehill College, the Clark Gallery,
Boston Art, Inc., Liquid Art House, and the Museum
of Fine Arts in Riga, Latvia.
“I have found a way to express my passion for
fishing in my art by creating exaggerated versions
of lures with streamlined forms, glossy multi­-toned
colors, and fantastical names. This is what my work
addresses; wonder, excitement and the potential of
victory.”

JOSEPH FERGUSON
HILARY HARRISON
Joseph Ferguson, born in 1930, grew up on a dairy
farm in Unadilla, NY, where he graduated from high
school. He worked as a junior draftsman for the
New York Central Railroad in New York City and
attended Cooper Union night school, though that
was interrupted by the Korean War. After the war, he
attended Edinburgh College of Art in Scotland and
received an Andrew Carnegie scholarship to study
at the art centers of Europe. He settled in Boston in
1957 and worked at J.G. Reynolds Stained Glass before
founding Ferguson Stained Glass in Weston, MA in
1970 where he still creates his works of art.
Hilary Harrison studied sculpture at the Cleveland
Institute of Art in Lacoste, France, the Carving Studio
in Carrara, Italy, the Museum School in Boston,
Massachusetts, and the Rhode Island School of
Design. She creates artwork that integrates elements
of glass, wood, stone and bronze. As a sculptor and
stained glass artist, she works both independently
and in collaboration with architects, engineers, and
builders. Her recent work has focused on architectural
glass and sculptural installations, including
commissions for hospitals, universities, churches,
and individual residences.
“I was schooled in the traditions of Modernism,
influenced by British and American sculptors of the
late ’50s, and chose stained glass as my medium.
I like the intensity of its changing color with the
interaction of light. Its challenge was to make it
sculptural, free it from its architectural, cathedral
setting. I wanted to realize landscape sculpture, like
those of Henry Moore and Alexander Calder.”
“The essential element of my work is glass. As a
transparent and translucent material glass has an
ethereal quality which transforms space by allowing
light to pass through. The art of glass is true alchemy
transforming light into spirit.”

“The contemporary world is inundated with

well-crafted object persists: we don’t want to be sold
garbage that will break before its Styrofoam packaging

craftsmanship and precise design of modernist
sculpture and decorative arts, these approaches are
updated through the use of contemporary materials,
tools, and methods.”

THOMAS LINVILLE
MADELEINE LORD
“My work is a mixture of abstract and figurative
forms drawn from a sensory response to the essential
qualities of natural sources ranging from the minute
to the monumental, living or static. Inspiration might
come from the close observation of the complex
articulations of a seashell or the erosive effects on
stone of wind and water. Through sculpture I integrate
these responses to nature with formal artistic qualities
such as form, balance, rhythm, symmetry, scale, and
texture.
“My work is composed of carefully selected metal scrap and, like a crazy quilt, is the result of many
iterations: choice, placement, join. Multiple small drawings, including pockets of air, create the
final piece. The materials and process combine to provide a metaphor for taking a second look
at what is determined useless, of no practical or esthetic value. I like to think each piece implies
origin and destiny, context and story. Any moment it may have something to say.
It may be a coincidence but the Boston Ballet was announcing a new production of Swan Lake
on the radio while I was looking through my garage pile of bits and pieces for inspiration. The
curved cast bar at the core of Swan was a recent purchase from a flea market. Its destiny was clear.
The dancer started with the legs and then the fan tutu; then a pile of galvanized crumpled hole
punched scraps looked a lot like feathers. The last find was the chrome appliance handle that is
the swan dancer’s beak.”
I use traditional materials such as bronze and stone.
This is a deliberate choice. I find these materials
best maintain a consistent connection between a
natural source of artistic inspiration and its sculptural
manifestation. As a sculptor, I strive to create forms
using materials that possess a timeless integrity
reflecting the immutable forces of nature.”

MITCHEL LUNIN
Mitchel Lunin has always been fascinated by human
form and function. His first piece of art was a female
torso done his senior year of college while practicing
for the carving portion of the Dental Boards. The next
35 years were spent successfully practicing dentistry in
Greater Boston. After retiring in 2002, Lunin studied
sculpture at the DeCordova Museum, West Concord
Art Co-Operative, The Carving Studio, and the
Beaumont Sculpture Center. A second prize award at
the 2009 James King Bonnar Show of a reclining nude
form encouraged him to continue creating sculpture.
Most of his work is created in clay and cast in bronze.
His work has been shown in galleries, shows, and
homes in New England and New York. “I feel that
sculpture gives me an opportunity to both express
myself and celebrate the human form.”

MORRIS NORVIN
COLIN MOORE
Morris Norvin studied at the Mass College of Art, the
School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, and at
the Museum of Fine Arts Scholarship Program. He
has taught at Stonybrook Fine Arts in Boston, the
Museum of Fine Arts, and various other art venues
throughout the region. His work appears regularly in
exhibitions and installations in New England and is in
collections at institutions such as Wellesley College
and the Children’s Museum in Boston. Norvin has
created set designs and constructions for the Boston
Opera House and the American Repertory Theater.
“In my current body of work, I explore the
relationships between people and the world they live
in. I tend to show the ongoing human experience
with its embellishment and frailties—not perfect and
less predictable. My sculptures have an ephemeral
quality, experienced when moving around or through
the work, which allows one to consider varying
perspectives. Acknowledging the science behind
vision, I communicate feelings with objects and
space, aware that we perceive three-dimensional
objects with a primitive part of the brain which
creates a visceral and memorable experience. The
intention of my work is to invite the viewer to be
present and accept the moment with trust. Whether
fabulous or futile, it is perfect just as it is.”
“My interest lies in recycling objects and materials,
things that had a previous life and purpose and then
found themselves discarded. I hope the viewer will
recognize bits and pieces of tools, machines, and
vehicles and see them differently, considering their
lines and shapes rather than their previous function.”

“For my saggar shard works, such as Fallen Tower of Babel, I build a piece and then fire it once.
After cooling, the form is broken into several pieces, and each piece is decorated with stamps,
copper wire, tape or string, and then packed into an individual saggar. A saggar is an enclosed clay
container packed with combustible materials such
as sawdust, salt marsh hay, or seaweed, which have
been soaked in solutions of iron, cobalt, copper, or
yellow ochre oxides. The saggars are then stacked
and placed in the gas kiln to be fired. The fire and
combustible material dance upon the clay and leave
exciting random marks. Once cool, the pieces are
reassembled and glued together, yielding each time
a unique and beautiful melding of patterns, designs,
textures, and colors.”

KERRY MULLEN
BRIAN MURPHY
Kerry Mullen received her BFA from the
Massachusetts College of Art. A multi-media artist
living and working in Gloucester, MA, she is greatly
influenced by her natural surroundings, particularly
the rocky coast, glacial formations, granite quarries,
ocean, and extraordinary light which play upon all
of these from season to season. Kerry’s work has
been shown at various North Shore venues including
her own Spotted Cat Gallery, Lexicon Gallery, Cove
Gallery, Artspace, Joncien Gallery and Local Colors.
Her work is in private collections across the United
States. Her sculpture installations have been seen at
Maudslay State Park in Newburyport, Massachusetts,
the Stone Bone Feather Festival in Amesbury,
Massachusetts; Dogtown, and other outdoor exhibits.
Brian Murphy is a long-time child therapist who began
using art therapy as a means to help his patients in
2001. In the process of helping traumatized children
regain their self-confidence and confront their fears,
he found his passion and skill for wire sculpture.
One of the artists with gallery space at 450 Harrison
Avenue in Boston’s South End, Murphy creates
palm-size to life-size wired sculptures with seemingly
simple lines that convey familiar and often humorous
feelings and actions.
“A Single Seed honors the power, influence, and grace

JENNY RANGAN
DALE ROGERS
Jenny Rangan fell in love with clay at the University
of New Mexico where she got her BFA in 1990. She
apprenticed with Avra Leodas, the owner of Santa
Fe Clay, and built miraceous clay pit-fired pots with
Felipe Ortega in La Madera, NM. Soon after college,
she became a somatic therapist and hardly touched
clay for many years, but always felt called back to that
old connection. Finally, in 2009, she started taking
classes at Cynthia Curtis Pottery in Rockport. Since
then, Jenny co-founded and has twice co-curated the
Cape Ann Ceramics Festival, a month of events for
education and promotion of the ceramic arts. She
also is a partner at Lexicon Gallery in Magnolia, MA,
which features multimedia fine art. At Lexicon, Jenny
curates special exhibits, organizes workshops, and
displays her own work.
Dale Rogers, an award-winning metal sculptor, takes
pleasure in creating work that inspires the public to
think about the world differently. He has been working
as a full time metal sculptor since 2003. He works
with Cor-Ten and stainless steel; all of his work is
originally designed, laser cut, TIG welded, and hand
finished into large scale three-dimensional sculptures
that combine his love for abstract geometrics with
organic lines and a figurative appeal.

Dale’s work is in private collections in 49 states,
Puerto Rico, and Canada, and in public spaces in
more than 25 states. He believes that art should
be accessible to the public, a part of our everyday
surroundings. “It is important to add art to the
landscape of public venues. Art triggers the
imagination of its observers, encourages them to view
the world differently, and stimulates conversation.”

JESSE SHAW
Ramani Rangan worked first in television and later in
theater in London and Denmark, in lighting, scenery,

“While living on the island of Samos, Greece, I first
noticed driftwood while walking on the shore. I began
to collect and paint it in the colors of the houses,
churches, and traditional costumes around me. I
called these ‘Story Sticks’. I later began to gather
them in bunches like a chapter of a larger book.
Likewise, each stick in Spiritwalker represents a
chapter, gathered together to become a book of life,
symbolizing the impulse to gather one’s story both
linearly and spiritually.”

GENE SHEEHAN
JANICE CORKIN
RUDOLF
Gene Sheehan wanted to try something different
with his welding skills and wound up producing an
eight-foot-long working cod fish weathervane in steel
for his front lawn. Since then, he has created several
small origami-like sculptures and larger creatures, also
in steel, for homes and gardens around the North
Shore. Much of the inspiration for his work comes
from the natural beauty and wildlife that surround
the home he shares with his wife and dogs on Rings
Island.
Janice Corkin Rudolf has studied sculpture since she
was in the third grade, counting herself fortunate
to have moved as a young child to a house across
the street from the person who would become her
first mentor, the sculptor “Maestro” Peter Abate.
She went on to study art at Colorado Women’s
College, Boston University College of Fine Arts, and
Antioch University. Currently, Janice is working on
several commissions, studying welding, and teaching
students in her Sudbury Art Studios where she offers
scholarships to those who lack financial resources to
take her classes. She is also a volunteer art instructor
for children at the Boys and Girls Club in Dorchester
and for adults who have AIDS and HIV at Victory
Programs’ Boston Living Center. Janice curates and
judges art exhibits.

GIANNA STEWART
“To me, art is a language with its own vocabulary
that can be learned by all. It is a means of expression
portraying intimate feelings and moods, with passion
and strength. Sculpture is what I mostly choose as
my medium, modeling in clay and then moving to
wax, then bronze, with the ancient process called
‘lost wax.’”

NANCY SANDER
BART STUYF
Nancy Sander began making soft sculpture puppets
in the early 1970s, forming her own company,
Roaring Duck Puppets, and performing and teaching
workshops around New England. These days, Nancy

used in performances by others. Nancy created a
30-foot dragon for a Theater Workshop production
at Newbury Elementary School last spring and large
props and puppets for Voices from the Heart chorus
in Portsmouth, NH. This fall, she will debut a new
abstract piece experimenting with graffiti painting on
fabric at the Open Air Sculpture Show at Maudslay

In the early 90s, Nancy returned to figurative
sculpture using clay. The pieces displayed at Pingree
developed from modeling sessions she attended at
Sanctuary of Arts School in Eliot, ME.
“Lilith: Lilith was the much maligned first wife of
Adam. She had a mind of her own and sought
knowledge, much to his dismay. She wouldn’t behave
so Adam got rid of her and had God make him
another wife from one of Adam’s ribs. Her name was
Eve and she did his bidding.

Tree Woman: In many cultures, it is believed that
spirits inhabit trees. When making this piece, I
imagined a woman transforming into a tree. Perhaps
a woman tired of traveling or wandering who had
decided this is the place to put down roots.”

“I use slate with outward signs of wear. Paint,
tar, nail holes, fractures, chips and flaking tell
of the slate’s former utilitarian life. The scars
of its history rest on its surface while I cut
through the patina revealing fresher layers of
stone. The contrasting ‘clean’ surface, in sunken
relief, echos fossils freed from their Mesozoic
entombment...Within this tension I play with
illusion, pun and irony while unveiling the layer
between two- and three-dimensional art.”

KARIN STANLEY
LISA VICTORIA
Karin Stanley, a graduate of Radcliffe College (Harvard University) in Design and History, is a
native Irish sculptor and garden designer living in New England. The spirit of her work in garden
design and art is drawn from the landscape and garden elements of Ireland and Scotland. Karin’s
art is inspired by the interplay of sun and shadow with
the essential elements of stone, metal, water, fire, and
wood. She is fascinated by the power and simplicity
of Megalithic art and the archaeological elements one
finds in Ireland and Scotland. In both her sculpture
and garden design, Karin’s designs try to express the
energy and spirit generated by ancient landmarks,
particularly the symbolic hieroglyphs that evoke
nostalgia and resonate with the organic elements that
have existed for millennia.
Educated in art and art history, Lisa Victoria is a
working sculptor located in Newburyport, MA. “As
a lover of nature, most of my work references the
wonders of our planet. Searching for Roots symbolizes
our desire to connect with the magic and mystery of
all that life offers.” Lisa finds “unquantifiable joy in
creative expression and sharing knowledge.”

Karin’s sculptures are in private collections in the US,

Also a certified garden designer, Karin leads garden
tours to Scotland, Ireland, and sometimes Wales

ISAAC WITT
Stone mason and emerging sculptor Isaac Witt has been hard at work developing his found object,
folk art, organic style of sculpture over the last several years. He shares a workshop in Lynn, MA
with his brothers Eli and Ian where they all utilize stone and wood to create unique artwork and
furniture under the Witt Bro’s Works label.
“My goal with this sculpture was to highlight the natural beauty and strength of the pelican by
searching out the perfect variety of contrasting stones that best represented the varied vibrant
colors and contrasting textures of this magnificent
bird without much manual manipulation. To that
end I incorporated black granite, Cape Anne granite,
bluestone, Goshen stone; various beach stone,
fossilized shells, moss and wood. These materials
were largely sourced through many a long walk along
the beaches or in the woods of the North Shore. I
was very excited to witness the life and movement
that each additional stone brought to the piece as the
sculpture took shape.”
