Michael Sturtz, our Executive Director and Founder, has been a Bay Area sculptor, teacher and facilitator of artists for many years. He forges relationships with the community and related industry for their participation and investment in the arts. Michael's sculptural works are exhibited extensively and are in collections in California, Chicago, Vermont, New York, Texas, Italy and England.
His pieces address both concept and form through the creation of intriguing kinetic machines and strong material contrasts that often include creative mixtures of stone, cast and fabricated metals, glass, kinetics, light, fire, liquid and video. He received his BFA from Alfred University, and MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Additionally, he studied stone carving at Studio de Sem Ghelardini, Pietrasanta, Italy.
