Moana Ponder
Bay area sculptor Moana Ponder expresses her artistic vision in fine art bronze with emphasis on the female figure. Raised in a family of artists, she learned the language of visual art from childhood. She often personifies elements of nature such as the sea and butterflies as graceful forms that are elegant and alive. She also derives inspiration from the growth of the inner person as it is shaped by life's journey.
Born in Hawaii, she was educated at Punahou and then the University of California at Berkeley. Time spent in Italy and France also greatly influenced he work.
Originally a painter she turned to sculpture in 1995 and enjoyed a rapid rise to national attention. In just the first few years as a sculptor, she exhibited at the Chamizal National Memorial in El Paso, Texas and at the National Sculpture Society Awards Exhibit in Brookgreen Gardens and at Park Avenue in New York. Her work has since been exhibited in fine galleries from coast to coast and is collected nationally and internationally.
