Artist Focus

Artist Focus: Liz Wolf

After spending 47 years in the Midwest, born in Duluth, Minnesota, Liz Wolf moved to Santa Fe, New Mexico, in 1997. For her, it was a dream come true.

Dreams in Flight, bronze, 38 x 37 x 27 in.

“If I had to describe my work in one word it would be ‘animism,’ which is derived from the Latin word ‘animi’ meaning breath or soul,” Wolf says. “Animism is one of man’s oldest beliefs, that in every object a spirit or soul exists. When I am sculpting, I feel the sculpture take part in its own creation. I listen and we continue to work together. As an artist I feel grateful to see the world beyond its norm. My life as an artist is fulfilling and I will continue to create sculptures in bronze, clay and wood as long as I can, for everyday is a new day with new beginnings.”

A Gentle Rein, bronze, 17 x 17 x 7 in.

Wolf’s evocative and bronze sculptures can be seen all around the West, including at galleries in Bend, Oregon; Scottsdale, Arizona; St. Jo, Texas; and in her current hometown of Santa Fe.

Three Sisters, bronze, 13 x 8 x 8 in.

Among her most famous and identifiable works are animal subjects with human-like bodies wrapped in blankets. These bronze works are in countless collections, including important collections around the country. —
