Inger Nova Jorgensen has been a professional in the arts her entire adult life. After owning a successful modern/contemporary art gallery and high-tech frame shop in Oregon for many years, Jorgensen now focuses solely on her own art. In the last 15 years, she has become increasingly inspired creating contemporary, figurative bronze sculpture while continuing to paint, adding dimension to her artistic world. Jorgensen has completed multiple large-scale—life-size to 10 feet—figurative monuments employing the "Lost Wax process" and collaborated on several large-scale projects, furthering her education to focus on executing her own visions for various monumental works. Lost wax casting builds a mold around a sacrificial wax model. After the mold investment is set, the wax is melted out and forms a cavity where the metal or glass flows in. Using this method of casting captures fine details in both metal and glass. This ancient method has been used since 3000 B.C. to visually capture the stories of ancient cultures and religions throughout history. Jorgensen holds a BFA in studio art with honors from Humboldt State University. Her smaller bronze sculpture editions can be found in private collections throughout the US and in her studio/gallery in Oregon. Her work was also displayed in a year-long solo exhibition at the Museum of Danish America.
