Maryann Eikens

I marvel everyday at the beauty and strength of the natural world.  My intention in my work is to attempt to capture a moment in time and to convey the wonder and excitement found all around us in a creative way.  To tell a story, bring a smile, or to or evoke a feeling to the viewer.

For me, creating a sculpture involves a vision or a passion for something in life then being able to execute this idea in a creative way and hopefully to convey this to others.

The challenge of a three-dimensional art form and the tactile quality are what I love about sculpting in clay; that and the fact that the bronze art is classic and timeless.

Maryann Eikens has a BFA in Graphic Design from the University of Minnesota, Duluth.

She has been sculpting since 2005; bronze being the main medium, with occasional pieces in slip-cast clay.

Her sculptures are inspired by life, nature and by an active lifestyle. She has called Missoula home for the past 10 years. She is currently working on sculpting wolves, grizzlies, mountain lions and tigers, some of the live animals she had a chance to study and sculpt at a recent sculpture workshop.

She welcomes commissioned work including portraiture.
