Bruce Wolfe
Bruce Wolfe is a native Californian, having resided in Northern California nearly all his life. He is adept in oils and lost-wax bronze and he has received numerous commissions for busts and statues of many notable figures. Some of these include: The Barbara Jordan statue unveiled in November of 2002, in Austin, Texas; a heroic-sized bronze figure of John Baptiste De La Salle in front of Saint Mary's College in California, as well as a 54" and a 41" of St. Anne and St. Mary, and a life-size work of St. Jude.
Wolfe recently installed a 1.2 life-size sculpture of John Hannah for the Michigan Statue University campus at the John Hannah Plaza, as a tribute to the University's president of several decades. Currently in the foundry process is a 9 ft. sculpture of former Mayor Illus. W. Davis of Kansas City, Missouri.
Wolfe has studied art at San Jose State University and the Art Institute of San Francisco. He has taught figure painting at the Academy of Art in San Francisco, and sculpture painting at the College of Arts and Crafts in Oakland, California.
Of the Chavez project, Wolfe adds, "I feel my work will reflect the high values and integrity of the person you wish to honor and that it would add a timeless quality to your campus."
