About Artist:
Mary Louise (ML) Snowden is heir to the proprietary sculpural formulas of Auguste Rodin. Marie Busco, PhD, curator and author, states, " Snowden's masterful modeling, profound creative vision and groundbreaking bronze techniques have established her reputation at the forefront of of contemporary figurative sculpture. Snowden's talent and technique are derived from her own innate ability and as a protege of her father, George Holburn (GH) Snowden, who was a favored student and assistant of Robert George Eberhard. Eberhard was a protege of the great French Sculptor, Auguste Rodin. Eberhard inherited Rodin's sculpting tools and passed them down to GH Snowden. So not only was the Rodin technique passed on to ML Snowden, but the sculpting tools were bequeathed to her as well. In 1992 ML Snowden won the most prestigious sculpting prize in the world today, The International Rodin Competition in Tokyo. Snowden has completed many public sculptures and is collected internationally. Her works are also held in many museum collections around the world.

In Lightsurge, A male nude is leaning back on an S formation that distinguishes a radiant wavelength. In this masculine sculpture, bronze expresses the substance of light sweeping across a vast cosmic trajectory. One critic expressed, " Here in these remarkable works the sculpture has achieved the inexpressible portrait of light captured in an eternal bronze moment. Lightsurge is a sculptural meditation of the GeologicalCorium which expresses Snowden's central idea that the very substance of humankind, stars, planetary masses and bronze are created of the same interrelated yet differently arranged elements.
100% of the sale of Lightsurge benefits Art & Creativity for Healing, a 401c charity, located in southern California.
