On Friday, March 21, MaryEllen Dohrs will be exhibiting her extraordinarily crafted sculptures of sports figures. The gallery will be filled with basketball, football and hockey players.

“Basketball in Nikes” by Maryellen Dohrs

MaryEllen is skilled enough to craft any of these players (custom commissions) and place the facial images of you or your children on them. In addition, the gallery will be filled with her frogs, snails, owls and other natural critters. MaryEllen was the first woman designer in the automobile industry. She designed the inside of Hopalong Cassidy’s car as well as all of the old, vintage Packards.

MaryEllen is known for her intricate dramatic sculptures of basketball players wearing Nike sneakers. Her ability to create anatomically accurate sculptures of both human and animal forms will be demonstrated outside the gallery.

MaryEllen Dohrs

Her ability to anatomically nail any living species on the planet evokes commissions from those wanting sports figures to look like their children to those wanting an exact replica of a dog or a goat. MaryEllen’s teaching abilities have a loyal following of students who have worked under her supervision for decades.
