Us Two Sculpture

BIOGRAPHY Christina Nalty, sculptor, is a native of the west of Ireland. She immigrated to the United States in 1989 and currently lives and works in New York. Christina holds a MFA degree in Sculpture from The City University of New York at Brooklyn College and a BA degree in photography from the University of Arkansas, where she received the University’s Fulbright Award in the fine arts. She apprenticed in direct stone carving and hand-polishing techniques with sculptor and master stone carver Alfredo Cardenas in New York City. She has exhibited in galleries throughout New York City and continues to produce new work from her studio. Private collections of her art reside in the United States, Argentina, England and Wales. Her outdoor sculptures display a playful interaction of color, form, and rhythm using mixed media. The juxtaposing of forms shows a preference for asymmetrical balance. Her sculpture shows an intuitive understanding of classic form and reverence for the material, but with a contemporary twist. Her professional experience ranges from historical building restoration, stage set design, and sculpture commissions to adult education at The Education Alliance, New York City, The Visual Arts Center of New Jersey, Summit, to college teaching at New Paltz University, Suffolk County Community College, Kingsborough Community College, and Empire State College.
