- Edward J. Fraughton Classical sculptor in the tradition of the National Sculpture Society. Works include national and private monuments, medallions, portraits, miniatures and collector editions. "...what makes art poor or great is the artist's ability to blend superior technical skill with intuition, or knowledge with emotion. The artist's quest is to succeed in combining and balancing all compositional attributes and physical elements into those that are purely spiritual. That is the secret of art."
- Anthony Frudakis - Classical Figurative Bronze Sculptor - About the Sculptor - Frudakis is a fellow of the National Sculpture Society and has served on the Atlantic City Fine Arts Commission. "I had the good fortune of growing up in a house where both of my parents were artists. They nurtured in me a love for beauty. And it is to beauty that I have dedicated much of my time searching for and trying to give voice to this elusive element and finding it everywhere; in a curl of hair, the arc of a fold of drapery or a symmetrical face. Early in my Art Studies, I recognized kindred spirits in this love of beauty with the ancient Classical and Hellenistic sculptors of Greece." Visit the Gallery and the Sculptor's Studio.

- Barry Johnston Barry Johnston's art and bronze sculptures are about personal and interpersonal relationships. Coming out of the highly abstract and yet pragmatic profession of architecture, he evolved as both a dreamer and a realist. As an artist and sculptor, he seeks to understand the stimulus of life itself; that which gives our lives meaning and purpose. Decades before figurative art came back into vogue, he foresaw the need to seek a greater sense of humanity and to grasp a more universal basis for our human consciousness.

- John Sisko Sculptor - About the Artist - 1994 winner of the NSS Walter Lanz prize, and awarded the Ettle grant in 2000. Sisko's style is impressive. He is especially adept with the anatomy of the human body and in presenting sculptures with movement. In building up his models, he uses long strips of clay in a fluid motion that play up muscularity and body cavities, to reflect light and cast shadows. The hands and feet are often articulated in an exaggerated manner to add extra presence and power to his figures. See: John Sisko Sculptures, Galleries. Contact: sisko@xdynasty.com

- Dawn Weimer, Colleague Member: "I have witnessed tears of joy from blind eyes as hands "see" my bronze horses; and watched as a two year old art show attendee repeatedly hugged and kissed my lifesize fox. People often comment my work has an emotional warmth which beckons the soul and invites touch. It is that touch which brings us together in the mysterious spiritual blending of art and soul. My greatest desire is to produce work so riveting it causes one to pause, to touch; to reflect upon the glorious creation with which we are privileged to live, and to likewise embrace the love of our Creator." Animals, Equine, Figurative, Monumental.
- C Whitehorn NSS Member - About the Artist - "Sculpture is my living and my life and my love. I work in bronze because it will do anything you ask of it.

My sculptures range from highly detailed bronzes to sensuously simple marbles and alabasters." See Main Gallery. Read The Process of Creating Bronze Sculptures by C. Whitehorn.

- Ana Maria Sacchi Zaremba, Colleague member - About the artist: (text from the book "Art in Rio - Year 2000" - Brazil) "Ana Maria has been involved with art all her life. As an actress she learned how to recognize and work several human feelings and emotions. As an educator, through the contact with the younger ones, she kept lit the flame of time when all is new and marvelous. What we can find in her work is the richness of her formation and of her life experience. Using either terracotta, resin or brass the artist touches us portraying eternal scenes, smiles and dreams, and rescuing unforgettable moments inside each one of us."
