ALICE HEATH RIORDAN
Alice Heath Riordan has been one of Austin’s primary sculptors for over two decades. Her range of subject matter and the moods they convey are extensive.
From the sensitivity and emotion in her mother and child sculptures to the elegance of her figure studies, Alice’s sculptures are instantly recognizable.
Alice’s education as a figurative artist focused on anatomy and portraiture which included drawing, painting and sculpting from live models. She has been the recipient of many awards including: Allied Artists of America Chaim Gross Foundation award, the Joel Meisner award from the Pen and Brush Club of New York City and the Philip Isenberg award from the American Artists Professional League, NY; First Award National Art League; and Honorable Mention from the Nassau County Celebration of the Arts, New York. She has studied with many prominent artists in the New York area and continues to collaborate with her peers.
Alice makes figurative sculpture that is both personal and universal. Her attention to detail allows her to create sculptures that are both beautiful and poetic; conveying feeling with every nuance and connecting on multiple levels. Of her own artistic development, Riordan states "I look at and study all the artists I admire and learn from them. In my own style and in my own way, I strive to communicate an emotion, hoping to move the viewer in some way. The greatest thrill is to know that my sculpture is part of someone’s home and life."
