Jerry Atkins approaches sculpture as an exploration of the human condition, shaped by both artistic intuition and decades of work in psychiatry and psychoanalysis. While studying medicine at the New York University School of Medicine, he began attending sculpture and pottery workshops, eventually pursuing sculpture formally at the McNay Art Institute in 1970. Atkins later balanced a successful psychoanalytic practice in New York with an active studio in Woodstock, NY. His sculptures begin as spontaneous ideas inspired by people, current events, or observations from daily life. After sketching an image, he builds the form in clay, creates molds directly from the model, and casts the final work in bronze. Atkins currently lives and work in Brooklyn, NY, and Egg Harbor, NJ.

James Tyler is best known for his monumental Brickhead series, constructed from stacked red clay or buff stoneware bricks. Installed in public and private spaces throughout the United States, the sculptures combine a contemporary visual language with influences from Pre-Columbian, Asian, African, Indian, and Western traditions. Tyler’s work has earned him such prestigious accolades as the Massachusetts Governor’s Award for Merit, the Copley Society Award for Sculpture, and recognition from the Boston Society of Architects. His public sculpture projects, monumental heads, figures, and murals reflect what he describes as a search for “universal myths” shared across cultures. He lives and works in New York’s Hudson Valley.
