About the Exhibition
Over the past two decades, master artist and Crealdé member Cheryl Bogdanowitsch has sponsored along with her husband Albert a $1,000 annual adult sculpture scholarship for emerging artists to study with David Cumbie, the Crealdé Sculpture Program and Studio Manager and the curator of the Contemporary Sculpture Garden. This exhibition celebrates the development of a selection of accomplished artists, showing their current works in a variety of media – including clay, bronze, welded steel, wire plaster, wax, wood, foam, paper fabric and even film.

Cheryl Bogdanowitsch
Raised near woodlands and with parents interested in the natural world, wood has always been an important part of Bodanowitsch’s life and is the foundation for her sculptures. Her favorite woods are citrus, cypress, oak, and crepe myrtle, which are readily available in her neighborhood. She takes inspiration from the trees and lakes of Central Florida and each work begins with a branch, log or limb that suggests a figure or a bird, often finished with a sculpted ceramic head. This blending of natural materials and sculpted clay evokes a unique personality and spirit to each work.
