Biography of Darlis Lamb, sculptor represented by Gallery East of Loveland, Colorado

"Born and raised in Nebraska of Swedish heritage, I worked as a painter and printmaker before beginning my sculpting career. Sculpting began after moving to the Colorado mountains in 1975. My growing up years were spent in the country and small towns as well as the city, resulting in exposure to cultural diversity. Consequently, my interests and perspectives are diverse. Variety of artistic subjects has led to doing works in series, lending context and continuity. My inspiration is a source that while personal is also public, in that I have my story and the viewers have theirs. The ones I am privileged to hear connect with mine in poetic and poignant ways I never could have imagined.

French Lessons, my most recent series, was started in 1996 and continues to grow, holding my fascination, wondering what's next. The "what's next" could as easily be a beautiful bird or animal, a Zen landscape, or a figure. It is all, therefore, a never-ending story."

Darlis has won many national awards, including a Gold Medal of Honor for French Lesson 4, and a Bronze Medal for French Lesson 7.
