L’Deane Trueblood at Pitzer's Fine Arts

L’Deane Trueblood is one of the West’s best known and most productive sculptors. Her sculptures have been widely acclaimed and are in private and public collections worldwide. Trueblood’s bronze sculptures of children are unique and have won the hearts of collectors around the country because they portray the tender essence of childhood. She brings children to life--the faces of her sculptures reveal a range of personalities and attitudes, from playful to pensive.

“Everything small is cute and appealing. Children are the most appealing of all. They have an irresistible charm”
From her home studio, she often uses her grandchildren as models. Born in Norman, Oklahoma, she is listed in Who’s Who in American Art, and was featured in Feminine Fortunes “Fifty Most Successful Women in 2003”.

"L'Deane Trueblood has reinvested this genre with bolder formulation, a subtler touch and more tender feelings. There is truthfulness in her work that satisfies and nourishes." -- Vern Swanson, Director of the Springville
Museum of Art.
