Lisa Reinertson shares the journey of her career in art, starting with her student days at UC Davis and the notorious TB-9 in the early 1980s, where she began exploring large-scale figurative ceramic sculptures with a focus on women and nature. Reinertson describes her work on large-scale bronze public commissions with historic and socially-conscious content, such as her several full-size figures on Martin Luther King and the sculpture of Cesar Chavez in Plaza Park in front of City Hall. She concludes with her more recent work, which addresses our relationship and concerns for the life on our planet.
