Josie Dellenbaugh
I was born in Albany NY in 1948. I received a BA in Fine Arts from Chatham University, Pittsburgh PA in 1969, but only started modeling from life in 1976 at the Johnson Atelier in Princeton NJ. I continued my studies at Rutgers University Camden with a course in bronze foundry practice. I learned the technique of direct stone carving with hand tools at the Princeton Art Association in 1980. In 2008, I attended marble/Marble XX in Colorado where I learned to carve with power tools. I currently work in my home studios in Glastonbury CT and Center Harbor NH. I have been married to Geoff Dellenbaugh for 55 years.
My work has been part of many solo and juried exhibitions in New England, mid Atlantic region, and the upper Midwest. Internationally, my work has been included in exhibits in Canada and Russia.
I am a member of the National Association of Women Artists, CT Women Artists, Society of CT Sculptors, Lyme Art Association CT, and The New England Sculptors Association.
I have won numerous awards in various venues over the past 45 years. To list a few: CT Women Artists Association, Society for CT Sculptors, Hudson River Art Association, the Philips Mill Art Association New Hope PA, and at the Salmagundi Club in NYC. In 2017, I was awarded the Gibbons Prize for Excellence in Sculpture by the New England Sculptors Association and in 2022 took first place in their Equinox Exhibition.
My work in is many private collections as well as publicly owned by Goodwin University in East Hartford CT, Planned Parenthood of Pennsylvania (2), St. Paul’s Church in Chatham NJ (2), Christ Church in Raleigh NC (2), and Glen Urquhart School in Beverly MA. Currently three sculptures are leased by the Golden Beech Institute in West Hartford CT.
