Honey Eater (2021) Sculpture par Jeff Arnett

Maybe the arrowheads my father found in Alabama as a child and later gave to me were my first inkling that stone could be shaped to suit our needs. From my first studio art class at UCSC shaping clay, I realized how much my hands wanted to sculpt clay, wood and wax. Art professor and sculptor Doyle Foreman was an early mentor at UCSC and I eventually majored in art. Stone would come later though a UCSC Extension class. While participating in Open Studios, the experience of meeting and talking to the art public was invaluable, inspiring me to refine my technique and take on larger work. In that vein, I carved a large marble sculpture for the UCSC Arboretum and have since carved a series of large “garden” sculptures.
Since becoming involved in Opens Studios, I broadened my work in bronze, wood and found art while pursuing excellence in the art I create. My sculpture is in private collections in California, Utah, Texas, New York, and Europe.
