Balbin Metal Sculpture Tour

Whether combining steel, rock and flame or applying oils on leather and canvas, the artistry of Sara Balbin reflects the diversity of the family of man and the natural environment that surrounds her northwestern Wisconsin studio. Tour the many public sculpture sights by foot, bike or car through out the towns of Cable, Drummond and Namakagon. Since 1976, Balbin has operated from her Dragonfly Studio near the Chequamegon National Forest in Drummond, Wisconsin. Her current style of artwork has been strongly influenced by these surroundings, her Cuban-born heritage and a decades long association with the local band of the Ojibwe, or Anishinaabe (original people) of the Lac Courte Oreilles Band of Lake Superior Tribe of Chippewa Indians. Her primary forms of expression are metal sculpture and oil paintings that reflect a multi-cultural influence.
