Blaise McGettigan: 

​

When Blaise McGettigan says his work is inspired by nature, it may sound clichéd. His interpretation is certainly not. His “Giraffe,” a 7-foot galloping form is dynamic experience from every angle. Balanced on one foot, the legs, neck and tail all flow in quirky, but elegant motion.  

​

His goal is to create sculptures that evoke mood through motion. “The impact is different for everybody,” he says. An astute observation skills and technical expertise give his work a unique presence that demands reaction.

​

McGettigan studied illustration at Pratt Institute and sculpture New York Academy of Art. He was a contributor on several life-size figures in the National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington, DC.

​

Looking forward, he is thinking big, as in monuments or large public art commissions.
