Barbara R. Brown:

Barbara has been a sculptor since 1993, when she first moved to
Sedona, AZ from Southern California. She discovered her love for
clay in her first sculpting class at Sedona Arts Center with
Eugenia Everett as her first instructor, After two years of sculpting lessons,
she was awarded People’s Choice for three-dimensial design at the
Sedona Art Center’s student exhibition.

Barbara completed her first bronze sculpture in 1996, during her four
year apprenticeship with Famed International Sculptor
Dr. John M. Soderberg. While an apprectice to John, she studied all
aspects of sculpting and casting. Her first bronze sculpture, a large frog
sitting on a lily pad amid cattails with a dragonfly, was purchased by
Hillside Market Place and is permanently installed in a pond outside
of the Javelina Cantina.

Barbara enjoys sharing what she has learned with others, and has taught
sculpture at the Sedona Arts Center, where she first took her own classes,
and in collaboration with such sculptors as Dr. John M Soderberg, and
Joyce killebrew. She opened her own studio/school, Sculpture in Sedona,
where she taught sculpture to adults as well as children for two years.

Barbara recently completed her latest project, a 203 pound dragon named
“Douglas.” Douglas was unveiled at the 2005 Sedona Art & Sculpture Walk,
an Invitational Outdoor Sculpture Show where she has been a participant
since1997. Barbara has been represented by Galleries in Scottsdale and
Sedona, AZ.

Barbara created the life-size adult female and baby javelina, Mabel and Oscar,
for the Chamber of Commerce and the Sedona Festival of the Arts. Her original
sculpture was used to produce resin castings of the pair and local Artists
painted them for the fund raiser, Javelinas on Parade. www.JavelinasonParade.com

The Sedona Rotary purchased a bronze edition of another pair
of Javelina from Barbara’s collection, a mother and baby, that has
been installed in Up-town Sedona and is currently used as a
“piggy bank” for the Rotery’s fund raising efforts.

Barbara’s plan for the future include creating bronze sculpture, as
well as stoneware sculpture, for public and private collections, and
sharing her love of sculpture with students, concurrent with continuing
education in and the exploration of the world of art and the
wonder of life.
