I am a sculptor, working in cast bronze. I graduated from the University of Michigan with a B.S. in Design, Sculpture major in 1959 and a M.F.A. in design, Sculpture major in 1961.

My bronzes are expressions of my response to certain Biblical premises regarding the nature of God and the created order. Primary among them are the estrangement of man from God, from nature and from his fellow human beings. I try to show the resulting distortions and ironies this estrangement creates.

My images deal with creature-hood, alienation, resurrection, joy, praise and gratitude to God. But mixed in with all of these themes are the perplexities that are part and parcel of the human condition. I derive my hope from the fact that we receive “fresh strength” from God, daily, and that these things that we see now are transitory. The invisible things, that we do not see, but have hope in, are the truly permanent ones. (II Corinthians 4:16 and 18).

My bronze figures can be seen in my show room and studio at 901 Barton Drive, Ann Arbor, Michigan. I have some bronze cold castings as well. My telephone number is 734-761-9859 and e-mail is mmpowrs@umich.edu.
