Based in Loveland, Colorado, Bobbie Carlyle is a figurative sculptor working in clay, bronze, and stone for the last three decades. Ms. Carlyle received her Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree from Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah. Working in reliefs, small to life scale works, and monuments, her works have been included in solo, group, and museum exhibitions, along with many works in public and private collections.

"I create monumental bronze sculptures that capture bold strength and provocative intelligence. My figures go beyond first impressions to challenge the intellect and cause the viewer to look within themselves for greater meaning. My work reflects my love for classic sculpture, while presenting a modern approach with its presentation and a psychological approach for connection to the struggles and triumphs of life."

Good estate condition; some surface staining and natural verdigris to crevices from outdoor display.
