Featured Sculptor 2007: Georganna Malloff
Georganna carving "Fountain of Youth"
|
Born in Michigan in 1936, Georganna showed at an early age that she was creatively gifted. She was encouraged by her parents and teachers to express herself visually. She attended Scripps College for Women, L"Ecole etrangeres at the L'Universite de Grenoble, France, Wayne State University, Venice School of fine Art and the San Francisco Art Institute.
She has traveled and worked all over the world creating Cospoles that are 20 to 70 feet in height and carved in cedar or redwood. The poles bear images related to the region's mythology, history and to her interest in nature. Human figures, water and plant life are recurring images in her work. Her works are strongly influenced by her classical training and her interest in the carvings of India and of Tibet.
