PEREGRINE O’GORMLEY
P.O. Box 513, La Conner, WA 98257 peregrine@peregrineogormley.com www.peregrineogormley.com Bronze and wood sculptor Peregrine O’Gormley lives and works from his studio on their small farm in La Conner, Washington, with his wife and three children. O’Gormley incorporates imagery from the natural world in his serious and, at times, whimsical depictions of the human experience.
His work focuses on those elements of human nature and experience that we seek to share with others.
Additionally, O’Gormley’s work often references global human impact. He finds inspiration in his natural surroundings and in shared experiences with the living world. O’Gormley has worked with wood as his primary medium for decades, though in recent years, sculpting in stone is becoming significant in his new work. Chief curator at Bainbridge Island Museum of Art, Greg Robinson, describes O’Gormley’s work as, “Third generation Northwest School.” It engages the timeless imagery of natural forms in articulating a fusion between the natural world and the human world.
Recent awards for the artist include the Pat Munson
Prize for Avian Sculpture at the National Sculpture Society’s 82nd and 84th annual Awards Exhibition and more. O’Gormley’s work can be seen in upcoming juried and invitational exhibitions across the country including Western Visions at the National Museum of Wildlife Art, the National Sculpture Society’s Annual Awards Exhibition, Birds in Art at Leigh Yawkey-Woodson
Art Museum, ArtsThrive at the Albuquerque Museum and the Coors Western Art Exhibit & Sale.
