About The Artist |
|||
|
Paul J. Yank is a graduate of Layton School of Art, where he obtained a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree. He attended the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee and also attended the University of Kyoto in Japan while serving in the Marine Corps. M. Yank was sculptor in residence at the Milwaukee Public Museum and executed figurative sculpture and three-dimensional objects in development of exhibits. He had an active private studio during this period, and when these demands expanded he resigned from his museum position. He now works in Cedarburg, Wisconsin where he has converted a century and a half old brewery into the large scale studios and galleries he finds necessary. Mr. Yank has executed many commissions throughout the United States, including the Wisconsin Pavilion for the 1965 New York World's Fair, Milwaukee Summerfest Feature Fountain in Cathedral Square, City of West Milwaukee Memorial Fountain and Atwater Park in Shorewood. His sculptures grace many private homes, notably in Wisconsin and California and numerous schools, churches, industrial firms and banks. |
