Andrew DeVries
Andrew W. DeVries (born 1957 in Rochester, New York) is an American artist and sculptor living and working in the Berkshires of western Massachusetts. His works, primarily in lost wax cast bronze produced at his own foundry, explore the human body portrayed through dance, though he has a substantial body of work centered in the purely symbolic form as well.
== Early life and work ==
His early years were spent on his parent’s dairy farm in Rochester, NY where he first learned to work with his hands.〔Kathleen Mellen, ''Daily Hampshire Gazette'', 7/26/2005〕 Frustrated by the limitations of art classes in high school, he dropped out at the age of fifteen, but remained on his parent’s farm for 5 years, painting in his spare time.〔John A. Parks, ''American Artist'', December 2007〕 From 1978 to 1980 he drew dancers in Ballet Denver, the studios of Rieke Maria Love in Denver, CO, and it was Love that first suggested he try sculpture.〔Sheryl Lechner, “Heavy Metal” ''Berkshire Living'', Jan/Feb. 2008〕 Before leaving Colorado, he apprenticed with sculptor Ed Dwight, learned the art of the foundry from Lee Schenkeir and studied mold making with Raelee Frazier.〔 In 1984 he toured Europe, sketching in museums and city squares before settling into Paris for a six-month study at the (Paris-American Academy ).〔''Berkshire Eagle'', February 28, 2000〕 Returning to the United States, in 1985 he settled in the town of Middlefield, MA and built a sculpting studio and foundry with the help of his father. Taking casting work from other sculptors at his foundry led to a close connection with Elliot Offner, then Professor of Art at Smith College in Northampton, MA and a past President of the National Sculpture Society.〔
