Claire McArdle is an internationally recognized sculptor. She travels to Italy often to work in the quarries of Carrara and the travertine quarries of Serre di Rapolano. Her works are in private and public collections throughout the United States, Europe, Mexico and Japan. Working from her studios in Maryland, Colorado, and Italy, she creates work in marble, bronze and terra-cotta. Her style has been influenced by classically carved figures and the soul that speaks within tribal art, but her figures emerge from her own personal mythology and archetypes. McArdle's commissions for public, educational, and religious institutions include monumental works for Spring Hill College, Mobile, AL, Marian House, Baltimore, MD, The Holton-Arms School, Bethesda, MD, St. Bede, Williamsburg, VA, Holy Trinity Church, Washington, DC, Holy Redeemer College, Washington, DC as well as many private commissions. Her new studio in Hygiene, Colorado on a working ranch of horses and bison with picturesque views of Longs Peak and the Rocky Mts. is an inspiring environment for the sculptor and where she began her series of horses and riders. In 2005 she was one of a nine Washing ton sculptors selected by the Museo de Arte Contemporanea to exhibit in Merida, Yucatan.
