Originally I intended this blog to be a vehicle for shameless self promotion of my art work. I have decided however to expand the concept and will occasionally write about other artists or exhibits, galleries etc. that I find interesting. An informal arts journal. I hope those of you who visit this site will find something interesting and stop back from time to time to see what I’ve added. Please feel free to leave a comment or drop an e-mail if you are interested or have questions about a piece of work. If you are looking for Debe's work follow this link to her blog. http://debeabbottsartblog.blogspot.com/ To visit our gallery home page and shop us online http://www.abbottsstudio.com/

"Esquire Moose" Sharon BuMann


"Esquire Moose is the latest limited edition bronze by Sharon BuMann. A Moose sitting in an adirondack chair and reading from a law book is available exclusively through abbottsstudio.com.

Sharon BuMann began working as a professional sculptor in 1977. She holds an Associates Degree in Graphic Arts, a BFA in Sculpture, post graduate credits from Lyme Academy and University of Hartford Connecticut. Additionally, she has spent many years taking workshops with other professional sculptors, traveling and doing a vast amount of independent study. Life long learning has always been a strong part of her passion for art.

BuMann's current works include traditional fine art sculpture, bronze monuments, architectural collaborations, and butter sculptures. Sharon has worked in a variety of materials throughout her career. Her creations range in scale from miniature to monumental.

Sharon BuMann incorporates an uncompromised energy to achieve the finest expression of vision and execution. Be it, equine, historic, figurative or simply the narrative genre, the spirit of BuMann's sculptures captivate her audiences. Her public commissions are widely hailed and personal works have been collected and honored in various shows and competitions throughout the United States and abroad.

Sharon feels it is important to take time to share her knowledge and experience through lecturing and teaching sculpture classes. Recently, BuMann expanded BuMann Sculpture Studios to include TRS (Technical Restoration Service) dedicated to the restoration of existing bronzes. She has been sought after for her expertise in refurbishing public monuments by many acclaimed sculptors of antiquity.

Sharon BuMann was born and raised in Central New York State, near the shores of Oneida Lake. She married George C. Bumann in 1972, and together they raised two children. Her son, George B. Bumann. is a naturalist and sculptor in Gardiner, MT. Her daughter, Amy is a medical professional in Buffalo, NY.
