Artist’s Statement:
Using nature and the rhythms in nature as a springboard, Audrie’s abstractions group and unite space.Extremely experimental both in the materials she uses, clays, papers, and cement, she sometimes tries to defy gravity. Friends have often said: ”Audrie likes to live on the edge.” While complex problems and catastrophes sometimes happen, Audrie likes to push and stretch forms and materials.
Though her work is spontaneous, small models often serve as a guide and inspiration for a whole related series, leading to large groupings. The forms are interconnected metaphorically as well as physically to each other and to nature.Audrie received her MFA from the University of Pennsylvania. She trained extensively in New York City, Philadelphia, Chicago and Detroit: Columbia University, The New York City Art Student’s League, The Barnes Foundation, PA, The Academy of Fine Arts, University of Pennsylvania, The University of Chicago, The Art Institute of Chicago, and Wayne State University.
Sturman studied privately with the sculptor Vyto Kasuba in New York City. She also assisted Will Barnet teaching Painting at the Art Student’s League. In Albany, Audrie assisted Alex Markoff at SUNY teaching sculpture and 3d design, and she also taught sculpture, 3D design and Ceramics at the College of St. Rose.
Sturman tries to reach across generations and participates in numerous lectures & workshops in private and public schools in the Capital Region, including The New York State Museum and The Albany Institute of History and Art.
She currently works as an independent artist at Skidmore College, and her works are represented in numerous collections in the United States: Rockefeller University in Manhattan, The Detroit Art Institute and Wayne State University, and The Philadelphia Museum, as well as private collections in Canada, Europe, Israel, and Australia.
