"Madeline Wiener’s sculptures are recognized for their superb craftsmanship, beauty, and love for humanity. She explores the relationship between form and the emotion it projects. She searches for a balance between abstract and figurative art, because “the human figure is a blend of abstract shapes”. She was educated at the New York School of Visual Arts and currently lives in Denver, CO. Her public sculpture can be found throughout the United States, as well as in Scotland and India. Madeline’s artwork is also part of many private collections internationally.

Madeline’s journey in the world of stone carving has been inspired by the many adventures and cultures that she has experienced since 1971, when she began carving stone. Her abstract figurative style suits the tactile material she carves. Presently she is focused on creating public art. Her interactive sculpture is designed to engage and delight the viewer. Her popular ‘Bench People’ are highly stylized, abstract figures carved in stone that welcome the viewer to interact with the sculptures by providing seating. They can be found in public places from coast to coast, throughout the US." (from (visit link) )
