About The Artist
Krystal P. Gorman (KPG) is a Sculptor in Maryland. Krystal studied under numerous painters in their youth and taught for three years before receiving their BFA in Sculpture at The University of the Arts in Philadelphia, PA. While at this institution, they dabbled with wood and metal working, jewelry, molding and casting, as well as painting and illustration. While at University, Krystal discovered their true passion was figurative sculpture.
Their work explores the interconnectedness of life through the human and animal figure, using them as vessels to reflect themes of nature, nurture, and decay. Krystal is drawn to the beauty in transformation—the way growth and deterioration exist side by side—and they strive to capture that delicate balance in each piece.
​
Sculpture is Krystal's first language, the place where their ideas take on tangible form. Through the tactile process of building, shaping, and refining, Krystal creates figures that invite the viewer to consider both their fragility and resilience. Painting serves as Krystal's second voice, a means of deepening the narrative through color, texture, and atmosphere.
​
Over the years, Krystal has cultivated their craft through hands-on experiences such as working as a sculptor’s apprentice and moderating creative spaces. Krystal has shared their passion for the arts by teaching workshops, mentoring emerging artists, and volunteering my time as a Board of Directors member for the Cecil County Arts Council. These roles have allowed Krystal to not only create art but also foster creativity in others, spreading the transformative power of art throughout the community.
​
For Krystal, art is more than craft—it is a creative outlet that allows them to engage with universal experiences of care, loss, and renewal. Each piece becomes a meditation on our shared existence, asking the viewer to pause, reflect, and feel.
