Carving Persephone

Justin Perlman is a sculptor and fine artist living in Bethlehem, CT.  The pursuit of various artistic processes has taken Justin on diverse roads as exemplified in his work, which exists in private and public collections around the globe.  From studies in anthropology at Hampshire College he journeyed to focus on sculpture at the Art Students League of NY.  From there he moved to Pietrasanta, Italy so that he may work with master sculptors and artisans of marble carving.  Seeking deeper knowledge in sculptural processes, Justin returned to the USA as an apprentice and master chaser at a bronze foundry where he trained in all facets of fine art bronze casting.  In 2004, Justin moved to Connecticut where he continues to create works of art for exhibition, as well as private and public commissions.  Through all of his travel and studies, he has maintained the belief taught to him by his father, “Whatever you do, take care in it, and do it well.” This belief and understanding guides his hand along with his heart. Justin is also teaching sculpture and bronze casting at the Silvermine Art Center in New Canaan, CT.
