CAST PAPER MOLD ARTISTS

Lori Pandy

Though born in Laredo, Texas, Lori Pandy has traveled extensively. Living in Texas, Florida, Virginia, West Virginia, California, Tennessee, and Germany has broadened her horizons and given her a wide view of the world around us. She now resides in Fort Collins, Colorado, where she sculpts from her home studio.

"To paraphrase Georgia O'Keefe," states Pandy, a 1982 graduate of Ringling School of Art and Design, "I've found a medium that does the work for me." After years of painting in watercolors and acrylics and selling her work in galleries, Lori discovered clay. "It was love at first squish. Quite frankly I can't explain how I work; I just feel the form and volume of the subject that I'm working in -- be it flowers, birds, wildlife, or golf clubs."

Lori's work begins with exhaustive research -- learning the feather pattern of birds, or the vining habits of flowers. Next, she creates a series of sketches, collaborating with ICF's art department to capture the right look and feel. Finally, the work is built up and carved down in plastelina clay. Each relief is inscribed with rich detail and texture as she strives to capture the likeness and essence of her subject matter.
