Artist and sculptor Jack Dowd is quickly making a name for himself as one of America's foremost modern sculptors.  Jack Dowd's life-size creations, viewed on continuing exhibition in museums and galleries throughout the nation, are recognized by Who's Who in American Art and are collected by private, public, and corporate patrons from Florida to Australia.

The turning point in Dowd's career came in 1982 when he moved to Florida and was intrigued by the diverse culture he found there.  Introducing humor and color, Dowd began to comment on social mores as he saw them.  His first major sculpture to receive widespread recognition was I Love New York, a punk rocker that earned Dowd a "Best of Show" award in the 1989 Coconut Grove Arts Festival.  To obtain painstaking attention to character, Dowd now spends two to three months sculpting a single piece of artwork.  When he isn't in his studio, he is likely to be found looking for inspiration for his next sculpture.
