Bio
A sculptor for over thirty-two years, Kevin Pettelle has devoted himself to the exploration and interpretation of the human figure. With its tactile warmth, historic durability and a remarkable ability to accent form, bronze has proven the perfect medium of choice to express himself. In 1987, partnering with his father Ed and brother, Todd, the fine art foundry NW Artworks Bronze Casting Service was established. It was there he gained an extensive knowledge of the lost wax method of casting, learning all aspects of this ancient and complicated process. Since, he has continued to expand his knowledge through the application of the latest in digital tools to aid in the realization of his vision.
Born in Seattle, Washington, Kevin and his wife Susi have chosen to call the Pacific Northwest their home. His work is shown extensively throughout the US and abroad, cultivating collectors worldwide. The Schack Art Center exhibition is a retrospective of his work.
"The human figure still holds the depth of my interest. All my lessons of great sculpture can be found there." Kevin Pettelle
