Devon Dorrity Biography

 

Devon Dorrity is a classically trained sculptor whose work weaves together a passion for history and mythology with deep anatomical knowledge, digital innovation, and traditional craftsmanship. With over a decade of experience sculpting the human form—both fantastical and historical—he has exhibited in prestigious venues such as the Museum of American Illustration in New York and has received top honors, including the Chesley Award for Best Three-Dimensional Art. His bronze sculptures reflect a rigorous anatomical foundation, honed through years of intensive study and private mentorship under Andrew Cawrse, an internationally acclaimed sculptor, anatomist, and educator. Formerly the founder and CEO of a successful software company, Dorrity now sculpts full-time, bringing precision, passion, and technical excellence to every piece. Working fluidly between digital and traditional clay media, he creates lifelike, expressive figures that celebrate the enduring legacy of both classical and contemporary sculpture, please visit:artofdevon.com
