Denise Bledsoe
Encountering Denise Bledsoe's sculpted, fantastical characters evokes an emotion from each viewer. Whether it is pure happiness, nostalgia or a sense of being transported to a world of fairy tales and nursery rhymes, one cannot help but smile at the mischievous faces and marvel at the intense attention to detail of Bledsoe's sculptures. Though experienced in several different media, Bledsoe is most inspired by sculpture. I feel that being able to experience a piece by holding it in one's hand is most fulfilling. Bledsoe sources everything from vintage baby shoes to actual dentures to give her mixed media sculptures a life-like quality that can be uncanny. She espouses no heavy message or serious statement with her disarming characters, stating that her subjects are, as simple as their little faces depict.

Bledsoe's work has been exhibited nationally and internationally with features in several arts magazines. She counts many celebrities among her collectors including Demi Moore, Richard Simmons, Whoppi Goldberg, Roseanne Barr, Robert Walker Jr., and Michael Kouri.
