"Three dimensional art has always been my primary language so I a self-taught native sculptor. I learned forms by looking and working the material. Below you will find works in terracotta, bronze, tin bas relief, and wood. Most explorations in these mediums explore cubism, and Germans expressionism as it comes down to us from 20th century Parisian artists. Contemporary life determined my themes."

GILDED BAS-RELIEF
Bas-relief is artwork that is sculpted, carved or molded in such a way that it barely protrudes from its flat background surface. Aztecs and Africans created bas-reliefs by tooling gold sheets over wooden sculpture. Most of this goldsmithing was stolen and melted down by European conquerors; only small amounts of it are now left for us to view in museums. The love of the beauty of gold has prompted artist-sculptor Phyllis Parun to carry this traditional medium into the 21st century. She has created stunning bas-reliefs with 23K gold leaf on embossed metal. Ms. Parun has created a modern medium that has the beauty of gold at far less than its price.
