As a young child Charlotte Boyd began sculpting and studying the technique of her father, sculptor Guy Boyd. Now an accomplished artist in her own right, Charlotte has had numerous solo exhibitions and has participated in a variety of group shows in Australia and overseas.
Her bronze sculptures represent figures inspired by her family life and interest in and passion for dance and gymnastics. The fluid, gestural shapes of Charlotte’s figures are beautifully elegant and convey with simplicity, the joy of movement and shared experiences.
“My passion is observing people and their energy, then capturing that energy in a particular movement and making it three dimensional. I am particularly drawn to making sculptures which show all the dimensions and physical angles of the figure in action.
Dance and gymnastics are some of the main inspirations and the bronze allows the freedom to capture the energetic sculpture poses with strength.” - Charlotte Boyd, 2008
