Explorations in Natural Sculpture
The materials are not concealed, but are clearly evident in the artwork and their own beauty is as important as the final form.
Denise Snyder makes organic forms out of branches, grasses, brightly colored papers, and metal. With a strong Scandinavian influence her wall and free standing sculptures are inspired by and representative of nature.
