Welcome to Serena Bates Sculpture
My sculptures incorporate a symbiotic mixture of ideas and visions from people around me, the environment and materials where I'm working. As I work in many different mediums from Bronze, Stone, Copper and Ceramic, this website encompasses the body of my sculptural work.
Many pieces are available for purchase, and I am open to commissions. Please enjoy your journey through my galleries and visit often, as the work will always be changing and updated.

Thank You to All Who Participated in My Annual "Art it Forward" Scholarship Campaign
Jan 4, 2025
Thank you to all those who participated in my annual "Art it Forward" scholarship
campaign for local graduating high school students pursuing a career in visual or
performance arts. The
Artists' Cooperative Gallery of Westerly
sponsors this endeavor, for which I am extremely grateful.
This year I did a little something different and offered up one of my artworks for
raffle for those who donated $100 or more. I am happy to say we raised approximately
$5,300. Congratulations to our winner Elaine Hardiman. We appreciate your continued
support. This year's scholarship recipients will be announced in June 2025.
If you would like to make a donation and make a difference in a young creatives life,
please contact me directly.
