Cindy Free creates timeless sculptures that capture life and breath in moments of grace, emotion, and beauty. Rooted in the tradition of romantic realism, her work blends exquisite detail with the fluidity of movement, preserving fleeting expressions in enduring form. Each piece invites the viewer into a story—an intimate glimpse of the human spirit, suspended in time.
You’re invited to step into a library of stories—told not in words, but in bronze.
Volumes in Bronze: A Sculptor’s Library of Moments is now on view at the Birmingham Public Library.
Volumes in Bronze explores sculpture as a form of storytelling. Through figurative bronzes and glimpses into the lost wax process, the exhibition reveals how an idea becomes an object—and how a moment becomes something lasting.
“Each sculpture in Volumes in Bronze holds a moment I didn’t want to let pass—something seen, felt, or remembered. I hope you’ll take your time with them and discover the stories they have to tell.”
