Richard Pankratz is one of America's great artists in creating from the earth his clay and bronze sculptures. His pieces evoke a connection between viewer, artist, and spirit. If there is interactive art, then Richard's is at the top of the class. Some of his sculptures are also fountains and offer the musical sound of water as well as offering a delight to the eyes. Each piece begs to be touched all the while the intellect is stimulated by his thoughful comments about the creation of the piece. Owning a Pankratz piece is not to be missed.
"Art has always been my focus. I let my imagination run wild and then I create what I have envisioned.After teaching art for twelve years, I became a full time artist in 1975. My lifetime art studies include undergraduate study at the Kansas City Art Institute, as well as Bachelor's and Master's degrees in art from Emporia State University, Emporia, Kansas."
Richard produces very low numbered editions making each one a very precious possession.
