Birds

Wildlife

and other animals

 

Cathy Ferrell’s work in sculpture encompasses a broad spectrum of primarily figural subjects from commissioned portraits, to dancers, animals, birds, and creatures from the sea. Her greatest inspiration is nature and her detailed portrayals of dolphins, fish, and sand hill cranes are evidence of her sensitivity to the physical world she inhabits, living as she does on an island between the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway in Florida. Working in bronze and stone, her working methods require time and process and thus are not spontaneous, but rather deliberate and exacting. These demands seem to belie Cathy’s personal exuberance, passion, and the energy she exudes when she talks about her creative life and work.
