Original bronze sculpture by Ailene Fields · Mounted on wood · Available at Marcolina's Fine Arts Gallery, Tampa, Florida · Ships worldwide
Fields mounts this dragonfly on a small wood base, the insect's wings and body cast in bronze with a gold finish that catches light differently depending on the angle. The proportions stay close to a real dragonfly's, elongated body and wide, thin wings, rather than stylizing the form into something more abstract.
At 6 by 5 by 6 inches including the base, it is one of the more delicate pieces in the collection, and the wood mount gives it a finished, display-ready presence without needing a separate stand.

Collector's Note
This piece sits closer to naturalism than most of Fields' work, and suits a collector drawn to precise, insect-scale detail rather than the more rounded, simplified forms in her larger animal studies.

"My aim, sculpturally, has always been to bring softness out of apparent hardness."
Ailene Fields
About the Artist
Ailene Fields is an American sculptor working in bronze, stone, and acrylic, known for figures that draw on mythology, fairy tales, and the natural world. Born in Brooklyn, she earned a degree in English Literature and Greek Mythology from Lehman College before training as a self-taught potter.
She went on to study the human figure under master sculptor Bruno Lucchesi at the New School for Social Research in New York, where she developed the technical foundation behind her animal and figurative bronzes. She is a co-founder of the Skylands Museum of Art in Lafayette, New Jersey, and co-owner of The Compleat Sculptor in New York City.
Her work has been shown in solo museum exhibitions at the Bergen Museum of Art and Science and the Appleton Museum of Art, and is held in private collections across the country. Fields continues to teach stone carving, passing on the discipline behind her own decades of practice.
