THE SCULPTOR ‒ The Story of an Artist

Cathryn Jenkins, daughter of prominent sculptor, Fran Jenkins, spent many hours in her mother's studio learning about the qualities of different stones as well as the relationship between artist and medium, while gaining an understanding of line, form and the joy of sculpture.

Developed over the years, her own stylized representational form, influenced not only by her mother but also Inuit and acclaimed American sculptors, combine the pleasure of real touch and strong line. The skilfull union of these key elements, consistently present in all Cathryn's work allows the creation of unmatched and timeless works of art.

The stones selected for Cathryn's work are hand quarried in British Columbia. These marbles, alabasters, serpentines and soapstones have individual qualities unveiled by hammer and chisel. diamond blades, rasps, files and the artist's eye to reveal flowing agility. powerful line and lustrous natural surface.

Cathryn's series of sought after wildlife series continue to hold a place of pride among many corporate and private collections. Works from this series have received many awards.
