Adair Co. artist featured at Kentucky Artisan Center

By George Kolbenschlag

Two sculptures by Adair County artist David Waltz are on display as part of the "Year of the Woman" art exhibit at Berea's Kentucky Artisans Center. The exhibit showcases art by sixteen Kentucky artists who have created new works that honor and are inspired by women of influence throughout history.

The "Year of the Woman," 2020 marks the 100th anniversary of the passage of the United States' 19th Amendment, which guarantees and protects women's constitutional right to vote. The Kentucky Artisan Center celebrates the Year of the Woman with the exhibit which will be on display through December 31, 2020.

Waltz creates three-dimensional figurative sculptures, which are fired, then pit-fired to create a weathered look. All his functional and one-of-a kind pottery is made of stoneware clay and formed on a potter's wheel or by hand. These pieces feature glazes that are non-toxic and lead free. No two sculptures are the same.

Waltz's Heart's Image pottery and sculpture workshop and gallery, where his work can be viewed and purchased, are located on a 67-acre farm about eight miles west of Columbia off Kentucky Highway 80 at the end of G. Taylor Road. The gallery is open by appointment by calling (270) 250-8518.



In addition to the artisan center, Waltz's work can be found at My Old Kentucky Home Gift Shop, Bardstown, KY; Bernheim Forest Gift Shop, Clermont, KY; Completely Kentucky, Frankfort, KY; and, Janice Mason Art Museum, Cadiz, KY.

He is a member of the Kentucky Craft Marketing Program and the Kentucky Guild of Artists and Craftsmen.

Adair Artist David Waltz has two of his sculptures on display at Berea's Kentucky Artisans Center. The one at left is titled "Jane Goodall." Goodall was known for her work with chimpanzees and spent much of her adult life in Africa studying them. She named this fellow "Graybeard"and he was the first chimp that befriended her.

The sculpture at right is titled "Harriet Tubman." Tubman was an American abolitionist and political activist. Born into slavery, Tubman escaped and subsequently made some 13 missions to rescue approximately 70 enslaved people, including family and friends, using the network of antislavery activists and safe houses known as the Underground Railroad.
