About Adderly Grant-Lord:

Her mission is to create artworks that deepen our connection with being alive, courageously step into our larger purpose and to inspire greater service.

I come from Zimbabwe, a culture suffering in contemporary times but carrying with it a mighty spirit of cultural and artistic endeavors. Art, in all of its expressions, is a revered way of being and seeing the world in my homeland. I create and offer my life’s work as a means of fusing the insights of my ancestors, with the modernity of expression. I listen carefully to the spirit of the stone I carve. Stone carries with it so much history of both nature and humankind. I listen with my hands, my thinking heart, and my feeling mind. Eventually, the stone leads me to the shape it can become to express itself. It is my task to meticulously sculpt it to existence.
I strive to capture the essence of living things and human life without telling it figuratively but allowing it to reveal itself through moods, feelings, lines, contour, texture and shape. Sculpting is the way I respond to life itself. It is the way I connect, learn, share, love, and honor the struggles of being alive. I choose to work with springstone, leopard stone, and lepidolite. From my sculptures, I want to help people to understand the culture of our ancestors, the day-to-day life of people and the interaction between man and nature.
