CUNNINGHAM ART STUDIO: Sculptor, teacher and doctor, Marshall Cunningham, M.D. resides just outside of Fredericksburg. Artist-turned-doctor, a practicing plastic and reconstruction surgeon, he chose his occupation out of his love of art. His focus on microscopic delicate procedures are a marked contrast to his welding, bending, cutting, grinding and finish work of his sculpture. His sculpture consists primarily of steel because of the strength and nature of the product. His works can be found in collections dating back twenty years. In addition to several large scale pieces installed outdoors on the Binini Sculpture Ranch, a series of his work with chrome illusion finish are currently on display. Email: info@cunninghamartstudio. Web: www.cunninghamartstudio.com.
