Lori Kiplinger Pandy

I am pleased to announce that I have been selected to sculpt Fannie Mae Duncan as a life-size bronze public art sculpture. The bronze of Mrs. Duncan will be installed in front of the Pikes Peak Center for the Performing Arts in Colorado Springs. She is a fascinating woman and this will be the first sculpture of an African American Woman in Colorado Springs - history in the making! I have created a special blog (FMD) dedicated to the process of this sculpture.

Lori Kiplinger Pandy enjoyed a long career as a graphic designer for the publishing industry before striking out on her own as a sculptor four years ago.

She was classically trained at the Ringling College of Art and Design in Florida. During her career as an illustrator, she created over 25 book covers for McGraw-Hill and illustrated 15 children's books.

Of her work Pandy says, "People fascinate me. Whether an influential public figure or an unknown person waiting for the bus, when I see their face, the way they hold themselves, I instantly wonder about them. What has happened in their lives and how have they responded?"

Her life has been enriched by her travels. She grew up in an Air Force family and remembers her childhood in Ramstein, Germany. As an adult, Pandy has traveled to Spain, Netherlands, England, France, Germany, Italy and Switzerland bolstering her appreciation not only for art but for architecture. She hates "disposable architecture" meant to last but a few years and marvels at the century-old European buildings that are occupied and maintained by generations of families.

Pandy has a long list of future projects — fascinating people she reads about. She has already completed busts of civil rights leaders Harriet Tubman, Frederick Douglass and Eleanor Roosevelt. Her next project is entertainer Danny Kaye. 

Pandy has shown her work at the past three Loveland Sculpture Invitational Show and Sales. She has been accepted to this year's Sculpture in the Park during the second weekend in August at the Benson Park Sculpture Garden.

Pandy's upcoming shows include the Women's Museum of California in San Diego, May 2-31, and the 17th annual Master and Signature Member Show on Cape Cod, Mass., Aug. 15-Sept. 15.

Pandy is on the lookout for commissioned work, especially monument size, and is actively biding on these projects. She continues to add to her portfolio which has grown to over two dozen pieces.
