Item Special Note

Dexter Benedict is a sculptor, and the owner/operator of the FireB Works Foundry and Sculpture Studio in rural Yates County near Penn Yan, New York. Mr. Benedict received a B.A. in Art from Ottawa University, Ottawa, KS and an M.F.A. in Sculpture from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro.  His work through the years has remained primarily figurative in imagery.  He has been fortunate to have secured a number of corporate and private commissions, ranging from small commemorative awards to monumental bronze portrait figures.  He enjoys the dialogue with the client to create work that is satisfying in its content, yet interesting in the interpretation through the idea, image and process.  Mr. Benedict works directly in the clay to develop the form and then, using the Lost Wax Process, casts the work in bronze in his Foundry.  He continues to create new work in addition to ongoing commission pieces, and remains active through exhibitions and participation in the regional arts community.
