ARTIST STATEMENT

T.E. Freeman

Trent Freeman opened T.E. Freeman Studio in 1997, creating personal sculpture for his clients.

Trent is a graduate from Emporia State University where he earned a Bachelor's degree of Fine Arts in 1995. He also attended Kansas University and studied abroad in Australia. Trent's professional career began shortly upon graduation, creating works that adorn private and public collections across the country, as well as in local galleries and fine-art festivals.

Educating and instructing others has been instrumental to the professional development of Trent's career. Facilitating workshops at colleges, leading continuing education classes for teachers and instructing at the Carnegie Art Center in Leavenworth Kansas, has allowed Trent to hone his own skills and contribute to the development of others. He has been a member and sat on the board of the Bonner Springs Art Alliance in Bonner Springs, Kansas from 2017-2020.

He has instructed privately from his studio for the past 25 years, and continues teaching workshops and private classes today.

Trent enjoys the process of creation, the birth of a new idea, and the contemplation of pulling it all together from the beginning to end of the sculpture. Trent's inspiration stems from Old World and Asian techniques as well as using native woods and recycled glass and metal. Though you will find his pieces are eclectic in design you are sure to see an element you love in every sculpture.
