Welcome
This site is designed as a tribute to an extraordinary artist, Myrna Bloom.
As a sculptor ... another Brancusi? I think her work is more varied and inventive.
And her paintings! I could get lost for hours in the masterful details.
In the spirit of full disclosure, my wife and I are the proud owners of a Myrna Bloom polished bronze called "Icaricorn Dancing," which we enjoy every day. Dollar values have little to do with the intrinsic worth of any art, but I am thrilled to report that "Icaricorn" has proven to be a wonderful investment, now going for five and a half times what we paid for it.
In these pages you can see the amazing range of Myrna's work for yourself. Most of the items shown are available for purchase, but because they are one-of-a-kind, they are subject to prior sale. One-of-a-kind work that is publicly exhibited, or privately owned is shown for your enjoyment in "Museum Gallery."
Thanks to advances in art technology, works that are in public and private collections can sometimes be reproduced and/or special-ordered for a fraction of the cost of the labor-intensive originals. You can own a unique piece for as little as $100. Work still available can be seen in "Myrna's Gallery." She welcomes your comments and inquiries through her private link on the "Say Hello to Myrna" page at the bottom of the site.

"Some think these are photographs, others ask with incredulity how I make them. I can't tell all, mostly because I won’t remember, but here is a synopsis, and some prints are explained in more detail: First I lay out the objects I am using on the table of the copier - laser or jet machine - in my chosen positions. Then I push the Print button and work quickly, usually with both hands, moving objects around as desired, sometimes adding a mirror to the mix. Most of the prints are titled quickly once completed, usually from my first impression on looking at them." Myrna
