EXHIBITION TIMELINE

JUROR – Christopher Gowell

Christopher Gowell has sculpted the figure for 50 years. She earned her BFA from UNH (where she later taught figure sculpture) and her MFA in Sculpture from Boston University. In 1997 she bought an old Methodist Church in Eliot, five minutes from downtown Portsmouth, and began Sanctuary Arts School And Sculpture Center. This has become a vibrant arts facility with as many as 24 art classes offered to adults, 6 art studios and Green Foundry at Sanctuary Arts, a bronze, aluminum and iron casting foundry run by casting specialists Josh Dow and Lauren Holmgren. 

Christopher has two bronze large-scale public pieces to her credit, a Firefighter’s Memorial seven foot by eight foot bronze cast relief with memorial plaques for Manchester NH and a six foot bronze three-dimensional sculpture of an 1870’s French Canadian millworker and her son-“La Dame de notre Renaissance Francaise” for Nashua NH’s canal waterfront. She also sculpted a tidal pool relief for the Seacoast Science Center  in Rye, NH as a percent for Arts commission. She is a member of the National Sculpture Society and Ogunquit Artists Collaborative. Her work can be viewed at Bowersock Gallery in Provincetown MA and on her website: www.christophergowell.com.
