ABOUT THE ARTIST

Georgia Gerber grew up in Chester County, Pennsylvania, studied sculpture and bronze casting at Bucknell University, and moved west to attend graduate school at the University of Washington. Her professional career began at that time. Along with her husband and 18 year-old daughter she lives on rural Whidbey Island, Washington, where she operates her own studio and foundry with the assistance of two women artisans and her husband. She primarily works with life-sized animal and human figures, often incorporating architectural or abstract elements into the design. A career emphasis has been the creation of accessible public artwork that encourages viewer interaction.

"My husband (Randy Hudson) and I had our first date near the end of my graduate work at the University of Washington. That night I told him I dreamed of having my own studio and foundry in a quiet rural area where I could raise a family and create sculpture. We have been doing just that for 21 years now. What I didn't tell him was the part about the horses…" — Georgia Gerber
