Artist Statement:
Artist’s Statement
“To capture the Essence of
Dance in Bronze has become a
purpose in my life. To imbue
each figure with an
independent spirit; implied
movements and an imagined soul
is my joy and passion.
Sculpture in the hands of a
Master, should speak directly
to the soul of man, as do the
most moving words of
Shakespeare or the most tender
notes of Mozart.”

STERETT-GITTINGS KELSEY website: KelseySculpture.com
Kelsey was graduated from the Rhode Island School of Design with a B.F.A. degree in Sculpture in 1964. Kelsey works primarily in bronze. Her works range from three inches to thirty feet in height. The Kelsey Bronzes are owned by collectors and connoisseurs of investment-level Fine Art. These masterworks in bronze are in more than 300 public and private collections world-wide. ( See selected list of Sculpture Placement )
The Kelsey Sculptures are hand-made from start to finish. The trans-formation from Kelsey’s clay original, into a masterpiece in bronze, is a
long and expensive process. A new ceramic mold is hand made for each sculpture. It is used only once. The mold is then destroyed within the casting process. There are about 35 steps which each work passes through on the way to becoming a completed work of art. Each sculpture bears: the copy write symbol: the artist’s logo: the artist’s name: the date of origin: the edition number and the foundry mark.
Richard Polich; founder of the world’s leading foundry: Polich Tallix in Rock Tavern New York. Dick Polich has enjoyed a special 40 year plus relationship with the artist. Together they work as a team to produce the Kelsey Bronzes in the finest registered foundry bronze in the world today. Please sign my guest book and leave a message for me . Thank you, Sterett-Gittings Kelsey
