$ On Inquiry

Powder Coated Steel 96.5"h x 35"w x 44"d is a Public Art Collection of City of McCall, Idaho. Taking Flight represents our deep connection to nature. As the bird takes flight, the person also takes flight energetically, while physically staying grounded and strong. The bird as messenger leads us to our joy. Both human and bird have energy moving through their bodies, reminiscent of the flow of water in a river, the source of all life. Created in memory of Larry G. Looney. Powder coated blue to bring attention to our deep connection to nature, open skies and free flowing rivers.

Best known for her award winning outdoor sculptures, Alisa Looney has exhibited in the U.S. and Canada. Her work is in a multitude of private and public collections, including Maryhill Museum of Art in Goldendale, WA, and several U.S. cities in the Northwestern states of Oregon, Idaho and Washington. She expresses her ideas through sculpture, dance, painting and enameling in her Bend, OR, Studio. At the age of four, Alisa began drawing and building with clay and sand on the banks of the Spokane River, in Northern Idaho. The movement of the river is still present in her work today and she often donates a portion of her sales to organizations that keep our rivers clean and flowing. She fell in love with metal arts as a silver smith in her early years, received her BFA in Design from Boise State University in 1983 and began welding in 1998. Alisa returned to Idaho in 2010 to study with enamellist and BSU Professor Emeritus, John Killmaster, which has allowed her to merge sculpture design and narrative enamels into what she considers her most precious work to date. She loves sharing these enameling techniques through workshops in her Bend, Oregon studio and is currently developing online classes for enamelists near and far.
