DANA BALDWIN NAUMANN creates fanciful and fabulous sculpture, crafted from lead sheets coated
with copper or zinc patinas. His hammer?ed sculptures are studies in texture, soft and warm-looking
even though metal surfaces. Naumann had successful executive marketing careers with Westinghouse,
and IBM, but in 1994 he decided to devote his life to his art, a decision he's never regretted.

He's contributed sculptures to the permanent collections of the US Special Olympics, a piece on the Holocaust
to the Thomas Dodd Center at UCONN, and to the New Haven Aids Project. His works have been shown
at Art Expo NYC, Gallerie Michele Washington DC, and the Vital Gallery in Hawaii.

Art critic Steve Starger wrote: "Naumann's finely wrought sculptures aren't depressing or oppressive.
He draws on African and mythological references to create monolithic faces that are inspired by
ritual masks and statuary, like totems left from a long-vanished civilization. Elongated faces appear aloof
and ascetic, but are also strangely poignant, and each emanates a sense of mystery and longing."
