Pokey Park

            Pokey Park (Marie Whittle-Webb Park) was born and spent her formative years in Coastal Georgia.  Pokey’s earliest memories are the play of light and shadow in the live oak forest, the designs in driftwood and shells, the patterns created by wind and tide, the dance of wild animals, the flight of birds, and the force of storms.  Those early impressions have greatly influenced her art and life.

            Pokey spent 33 years in the Pennsylvania countryside and the Massachusetts Coast, sailing waters from Chesapeake Bay to Nova Scotia all the while studying plants and wildlife, drawing and creating sculptures from those images.  She has traveled the far reaches of the earth and loves most to embrace things that radiate honesty, kindness, and openness.  As a transformer of energy, Pokey captures the essence of life forces in her bronze sculptures.

            She has a BFA from the University o Georgia where she first experimented with bronze casting under Leonard DeLonga.  She also works in clay, wood and stone.  Pokey taught art to both adults and children when she lived in the East.  She now divides her time between Tucson, Arizona and Ridgway, Colorado. Her work ranges in scale from a few inches to more than ten feet and has been enlarged or downsized for site specific commissions.  Pokey has public installations in Pennsylvania and Massachusetts and her work is in private collections across the United States.  The Jane Hamilton Gallery in Tucson, Arizona, the Ago Gallery in Ouray, Colorado and the Aspen Artist’s Co-op in Aspen Highlands, Colorado, presently represent her.  She belongs to The international Sculpture Center and the Washington Sculpture Group.
