“Everyone has their own depiction of what each piece means to them. I believe that is what art should be. Not an artist telling the public how they feel but the public forming their own personal thoughts and opinions.” Brenda Truesdale began her artistic career as an apprentice working for thirteen years where she trained in all aspects of metal casting at Bronzart Foundry in Sarasota. During that time, she became a master in wax work, mold making and adept in the patina process. She has developed a distinctive style in her bronze castings. Her smooth, linear lines reflect Brenda’s life-long love of creating three dimensions. Her main focus is to translate into bronze the essence of the subject. To capture a moment and present it in a stylized form. Brenda’s work has been described as powerful with strong shapes yet they are also sensitive and provoke thought. The heart and spirit of the subject is brought out during the artistic process; the design starts as a simple idea and then transforms into the finished piece of artwork.
