Bronze Relief Sculpture by Dave LaMure Jr.
“Dave LaMure created hand built vessels for many years and how I met him in the art world. He is primarily creating in bronze and painting now. Spirits in the Wind Gallery is featuring his bronze relief artwork which is truly amazing” Pam Eggemeyer, Gallery Director/Owner.
Dave LaMure Jr. has worked with clay for the last twenty-four years. During that time, he has developed an art uniquely his own. Dave innovative style of painting, sculpting and altering vessels is new to the world of clay. The fine art, size and detail of each piece is a bold approach using the Raku process. I want to show the symbiotic relationship between the vessel and the way it is altered, much like all living things and the earth.
LaMure has mastered his fine art with innovative techniques of raku firing. His work is a refreshing approach to an age-old firing technique,said James Woods, director of the Herrett Museum and Center for Arts. While many modern potters use low-fire raku for its simple and spontaneous appearance, David has managed to successfully mix the warmth and softness of the technique with a contemporary concern for bold forms. LaMure forms are huge, dynamic and commanding.

As a young boy, Leland was inspired by the paintings of his uncle, Howard Holiday. He started doing pencil drawings when he was seven years old. Thirsting to learn more about art, he started checking out library books. He loved seeing the work of Picasso, Jackson Pollack, and Georgia O’Keefe, but was especially blown away by the work of Jean Michele Basquiat.
In 1990 when he was sixteen years old, his mother brought home a set of acrylic paints. Leland would start painting in the morning and become so caught up that he would forget to eat. His days were filled with the joy of expressing his artwork. He would use anything he could find for materials; spray paint, house paint, found wood, old fence posts, practically anything that provided a surface for his exciting palette of colors. He surprises himself by changing the shading or colors. He never thinks about what someone may think of his work, whether or not they will like it.
Because of the carvings he was creating along with his brothers, he was almost immediately categorized as a folk artist, yet he felt he had much more to offer. About three years ago when he pushed to expand his expression, collectors were afraid to move with his changes and for some time he struggled internally and financially. Fortunately, that battleship finally turned and he is once again enjoying the freedom of painting his personal vision of color and expression.
His wife and family have been his greatest source of encouragement. He doesn’t quite know why he creates the work that he does. He simply feels compelled to create. He feels there is a long road ahead, a good road with great opportunity for expressing his individuality.

Tipis – of a Different Color!
When you think of American Indian tipis color – you think of beige and white. Not Artist, Jim Hagstrom. They were homes with color, brilliance; a place where life was surrounded by love, activity and hard work. This new mini series 8″ x 8″ oil paintings on stretched canvas are new to Spirits in the Wind Gallery. Spirits in the Wind Gallery has featured Jim’s artwork for some time now and he creates each piece with a tick pallette knife thickness so it jumps off the canvas in various mixed colors. 8″ x 8″ $495.00 each. Makes a great wall collage. View web site.
Wikipedia:
A tipi[1] (also tepee[2] and teepee[3][4]) is a conical tent, traditionally made of animal skins, and wooden poles.[5][6] The tipi was used by the nomadic tribes/band governments of the Great Plains and Canadian Prairies in North America.[7][8][9] Tipis are stereotypically associated with Native Americans in the United States/Canadian Aboriginal people in general, however, Native Americans and First Nations from places other than the Great Plains or Canadian Prairies mostly used different types of dwellings.[1][note 1] The tipi is durable,[10] provides warmth and comfort in winter,[11] is cool in the heat of summer,[note 2] and is dry during heavy rains.[12][13] Tipis could be disassembled and packed away quickly when a tribe decided to move and could be reconstructed quickly upon settling in a new area.[14][15][note 3] This portability was important to Plains Indians with their nomadic lifestyle.[16]
