Artists Talk: Saturday, June 17, 5:00

Valley House is pleased to announce our second exhibition for the sculpture of Dallas artist Kathy Boortz. The dynamic shape of found wood is the catalyst for her sculptures and a keen eye for wildlife based on years of observation in the woods or her backyard. Received her MFA at UTAustin, studying with Charles Umlauf.

When I hike, my eyes are often downcast, feasting on the gifts of nature offered up by the natural world. Weighed down like a peddler, I arrange and rearrange the treasures I gather till I reach my destination, my home and studio, where I review and reassemble my stash, my prizes of singular beauty. The shapes I select lend themselves to further interpretation, semblances of the animal world which I revere and speak for. Some literally make themselves while others need tweaking but all in all, my aim is to lovingly portray the beauty, the humor, at times the harshness of the fauna of our natural world.
