Liam Herbert is a Sedona-based visionary jeweler and bronze sculptor whose aspirational works give form to the entire gamut of life’s emotions: love, joy, family, faith, fear, greed, health, forgiveness, grace and tenderness. His jewelry pulls deeply at the heart strings of his collectors, evoking emotions through clean forms and archetypal shapes wrought from gold and sterling silver. His work has appeared in publications from the New York Post to Phoenix Magazine.
"FROM THE INSPIRATIONAL COLLECTION" Liam Herbert is a unique and dynamic artist. Liam's slender, angular wood carvings and limited edition bronze sculptures flow with inspiration, diversity and beautiful expressions of life. His art explores the human conditions - family relationships, faith, anger, passion, grief, hope, love and also the lighter side of life with his whimsical sculptures.
His sculptures alternately thunder with excitement or soothe the soul in a quiet embrace. Biography Art has been an integral part of Liam Herbert’s life ever since he was a child. Liam was born in Woodstock, New York, at a time when the art community was a flourishing environment of up and coming painters, sculptors, actors and writers ... who then went on to become internationally recognized in their fields.
One such artist was Raoul Hague, an abstract expressionist sculptor in wood, who has his works in the Whitney Museum and in the Smithsonian in Washington D.C. He was a personal family friend and mentor. In fact, Liam sculpted his first abstract sculpture at the age of seven in Raoul’s studio in Woodstock. This began a life-long passion for sculptures as a medium for Herbert’s art. Liam majored in art at SUNNY Rockland Community College, NY and the School of Visual Arts in New York City.
At the same time, he was a Production Property Master for Broadway shows, personally staging 50. An experience that further developed his artistic and creative abilities. “Creating meaningful art is my passion. Anything I create comes from the depths of my being. My sculptures cover topics through social satire, human experiences, humor, and my own visualizations. I feel that my hands are led by my heart and soul and I hope this depth of expression reflects in my work,” explains the artist.
As a visionary artist, Liam creates sculptures that radiate with an energy that reflects back to the viewer in a very personal way. Some of his sculptures have been as tall as 22 feet and as small as one inch. “My mission as an artist and my intent, through sculptural forms, is to convey a spirit that embodies the message of peace, love, harmony and whimsy with my creations.
The various forms of sculpture collections Liam Herbert creates encompass limited edition bronzes, mixed medium, one- of-a- kind sculptures and wall reliefs… as well as thematic jewelry with subjects relating to human emotions and experiences.
“Having no limits with mediums is freeing. I search for ideas from above and from the depths of my being. My goal is to create different forms of expressions involving human emotions that also have an intellectual twist.”
