Larry Nolan, America's Sculpture Artist

Last week I was lucky enought to meet a scupltor by the name of Larry Nolan, who works at his studio in Windsor, Vermont. I"ve met many artists and there are certainly many amazing people all over the world that I may never meet- so it was fantastic to meet him!  But he really stood out and I want to share my experience.  What I loved about this artist was his "joy".  You could easily see that he loved what he did and his spirit was incredibly energetic. What a tremendous talent.

Scattered all over his studio, in Windsor, Vermont, which was originally a church from the 1800's, were massive molds, studies, paintings and current works that each were fine examples of a superior talent. I wont go into detail as many might be private commissions and am respectful of that but I can say his skill of sculpture was so impressive. The details of his figures reminded me of the kind of perfection you see in Greco-Roman studies. I was so impressed and had to give him a shout of praise.
