Latest Bird Series


The direction my work seems to be taking lately is away from trees with abstract designs and toward other abstract forms.  The birds are still present, though.

"Annunciation (Inspiration)."



Inspired by representations from throughout art history depicting the angel Gabriel's annunciation
 of the impending birth of Jesus to Mary, this piece also encompasses a more general concept
of the receiving of spirit and inspiration.       Bronze.  22"h x 17"w x 7"d. © 2008.

"Another gifted sculptor familiar to anyone who follows the exhibitions of the Catharine Lorillard Wolfe Art Club, Amy Bright Unfried, re-energized a familiar subject in her bronze "Annunciation," in which the figure of the angel appears to flow through the air in a feathery flurry as it touches its hand to that of Mary, combining abstract and the figurative forms in a highly original manner."
