Rose-Aimee Belanger is a sculptor of remarkable figures fashioned in clay, sandstone, and bronze. The characters she creates are brimming with life and humor and her subject matter is gleaned from her own life experience. Over the years family, friends and neighbors have become the subjects of her insightful sculptures, finding them in the midst of their daily pursuits, at work or in repose. Her own work ethic is reflected in her characterizations of people about their daily tasks whether a miner on the job or a mother cradling her infant.
Her recognition of the importance of work in our daily lives gives special significance to simple pleasures. The characters depicted in her sculpture treasure the joy found in such ordinary pastimes. The pure delight of a woman eating a chocolate, smelling a bouquet of flowers and picking blueberries are all characteristic of her work.
