Mixed media sculptures by Kim Bellavia

Kim Bellavia is a sculptor/mixed media artist inspired by the landscape of the state parks, woodlands and national parks in the Finger Lakes region of New York where she lives. Her work depicts how nature and human nature weave themselves into the intrigue of life and the entropy of existence. The sculptures are constructed using a unique process of combining disregarded materials, such as tree stumps, branches, moss and vines collected on her outings, combined with an earthen material cob (clay, sand, soi, fibers) using an additive sculptural process.
