JD Peppers evolution into a sculptor began in October of 1984 when his
wife Leslie suggested taking his talent of working with metal to
creating sculpture. Years of technical experience found their place, that began when NASA hired him for the Lunar Roving Project at 18 years of age, when he completed his first sculpture "Leslie" in December of 1986.
Mr.
Peppers sculptures are designed and created entirely by the artist at
his studio. The sculptor has the metal look as if it yielded with ease
to his wishes as he hand bends the cold metal into masterful works of
art. Peppers painstakingly attends to the smallest detail, achieving a
flawlessness that amazes. The sculptures are by no means redundant. Each
piece of fine art by this artist has a personality all its' own. Some
petite and others grand in size, ranging through the disciplines of
Modern, Cubist, the French Decorative Arts, and Realism. Yet the style is
completely recognizable, with each sculpture possessing absolute
harmony, the mark of a true genius.
Mr.
Peppers was born in Palm Beach, Florida and currently resides off the golden coast of Texas with his wife.
"This is what I remember; the
moment my wife suggested I become a sculptor I was obsessed. Sculpting
and the infinite possibilities were all I could see and think about." JD Peppers
