NSS Elected Member Steven Carpenter has a one-man show at Decouvert Fine Art in Rockport, MA.  Every July the gallery focuses upon a contemporary artist in an exhibition titled “Bastille Day.”  The show features several of Carpenter’s bronzes that explore themes of maritime life, fantasies and dreams, emotions, nature, and human folly. Carpenter states “It will be fun to see these pieces all together. I’ve reached the point in my life that I don’t invest time and effort on a piece unless I’m totally passionate about it. I am still learning with each piece that I undertake. My only desire is to make the next piece better than the previous piece in the overall quality.” The show runs through August 10, 2025 at the Massachusetts coastal gallery. In June, Carpenter’s piece Cohesion won New England Sculptors Association’s Sculpture of Distinction award at the Hudson Valley Art Association 92nd Annual Exhibition.
