Reeds is one of my favorite early sculptures. It depicts a young woman pausing on the shore of a lake or river, pondering her future, the day's events, enjoying her surroundings. It's a breather in a busy life.

About Bobbie Carlyle

Bobbie has a bachelor ‘s degree in fine art from Brigham Young University. Her seven children and many grandchildren have been models for many of her early sculptures. Her favorite theme is one of Self Development, and designs are with a tweak in the figures. “Self Made Man”is about creating one’s own character and future, a female Phoenix about renewal/rebirth, Stretch the Limits with a man within a Mobius Strip about stretching the boundaries.
