“Sometimes the junk talks to me, sometimes I talk to the junk.” -- Sally Jurgensmier
Artist Bio
As a young girl, I was always interested in art. Raised on the family farm in central Nebraska, my roots have not strayed far. With ties to family and community, I have remained firmly planted in my creative thoughts. I am committed to sculpting on a fulltime basis.
My sculptures are intended to bring a smile to your face. I take metal, which is often “junk,” and give it new life. I use repurposed objects, bringing them back to life, with personality and expression. As I explore new options for recycled metal, I keep in mind the surroundings that cultivate my talent. Many pieces are scenes or subjects relating to rural life. Each piece is unique and never massed produced.
