Aphrodite, clay for bronze, 67″ x 24″ x 20″.

Bren Sibilsky raises classical subjects to awe-inspiring, emotive heights and is capable of portraying a range of expressions in any medium she chooses. She creates animated poetry in three-dimensional form.

Bren has attracted many collectors from North America and Europe. She has won multiple awards in sculpture, painting and drawing. A graduate of the Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design, Sibilsky is the founder and an instructor of the Algoma Atelier of Sculpture and Art, in Wisconsin.

She won a Special Recognition Art Award for her artwork in the Manhattan Arts International “HerStory” 2023 exhibition. Her art was also selected for inclusion in “HerStory” 2024. In 2023 she was chosen for “The Healing Power of Art: Love, Peace, Unity & Hope” juried exhibition on our website The Healing Power of ART & ARTISTS.

Woman of Prophecy, clay, 35” x 26” x 18”.

In 2021, Bren’s horse sculpture “Cayuse, Wild Mustang of the West” was selected for the Catharine Lorillard Wolfe Art Club’s 124 Annual Open Juried Exhibition at The Salmagundi Club, New York, NY.

In October 2020, her sculpture “Winds of Change” won Second Place in the prestigious New York based Catharine Lorillard Wolf Art Club’s Associates’ and Non-Members Exhibition. It was selected by the CLWAC Art Committee and Liz Haywood Sullivan, PSA-MP, IAPS/MC.

She also won a Special Recognition Award and an Award of Excellence in the Manhattan Arts International “New Beginnings” 2018 curated online exhibition for her sculpture “Woman of Prophesy”. About this extraordinary piece she wrote these words: “Follow your heart and eyes said the spiritual leader. So with inner eyes, I looked into my heart and found fear, as a precarious egg rolled down a feather. A prophetic woman appeared, understanding the egg would roll and break, assured me it is part of creation, explaining what is inside must be revealed. Trust the creative force of beginnings.” You can read more about this award on this page.

Esoteric Promises, clay for bronze, 10″ x 17″ x 21″.

As a self-proclaimed “seeker of truth and our place in the universe” Bren unveils a palpable reality that transcends the physical properties of her forms and materials. She explores the meaning of our existence and the life cycles of change and evolution. In her style of classical representation with baroque undertones Sibilsky has created an ongoing series of timeless mythological figures. She illuminates her subjects’ intrinsic beauty, grandeur and magnificence. As she accurately states, “I work with the alchemy of sculpture.”

This is particularly apparent in “Esoteric Promises”, which won the First Place Cash Award in the Manhattan Arts International “The Healing Power of ART 2016” juried exhibition.

Among the artist’s many other honors and awards include those from International ARC Salon and the National Sculpture Society, New York, N.Y.  Her numerous one-person and group exhibitions include those at: The Miller Art Museum; Koehline Museum; Fairfield Museum; and The Salmagundi Club of New York; among others.

Pride Of Friesland, clay for bronze, 26″ x 56″ x 52″.

We observe her poetic splendor in the exuberant and awe-inspiring bronze sculptures “Pride of Friesland” (above) and “Young Friesian Stallion.” They convey an ever-victorious power of grace, will and triumph. The artist, who owns horses, imbues each horse she sculpts with the love and devotion she has for her own animals. It is no surprise that she is the most sought after sculptor for fellow horse owners and has created many commissioned works of art.

Bren created a stunning portrait of a Native American entitled “Winds of Change” which will soon be cast into bronze. About this piece she states, “I give special thanks to Earl Meshigaud, Director of Culture, Language and History, Potawatomi Tribe, Claude A. Alexander, Language and Media Developer, Potawatomi Tribe and Kenneth W. Meshigaud, Tribal Chairperson, Potawatomi Tribe and local historian and artist, Jim Sustman for their generous hospitality, insights and knowledge of Native American history which helped me to create ‘Winds of Change’.”

Visionary, Call to Spirit, clay for bronze, 21″ x 25″ x 10″

About “Visionary, Call To Spirit” Bren states, “He is a healer who works with the natural world around him. Sculpted in the swirls of beads is the turtle and bear jaws, feathers and more. It is well for us to be in touch with the natural world.”

Bren was featured on the American Family Insurance website in their ”Dream Fearlessly” advertising campaign and has been interviewed on WBDK radio. She has been featured in many publications such as Professional Artist magazine, Luxe Beat magazine, Door County Living, and Door County Advocate.

Two of her sculptures were shown at The Hardy Gallery Invitational Exhibition in Ephraim, Wisconsin in 2019. The exhibit highlighted two works from each artist, one of which is donated by the artist for the Collector’s Choice Benefit, the organization’s largest special event fundraiser. The donated works are prominently displayed and featured in a silent auction. Funds raised in the Collector’s Choice Benefit provide needed operational support for the non-profit organization.
