Kenneth Worley Sculptor

Tom White, Sculptor

Tom White, the talented sculptor from TomWhiteStudio.com  was commissioned to design and bring to life the bronze sculpture of Kenneth Lee Worley. Please visit his website and enjoy his work. As you gain insight to the driving force and talent within Tom, you will agree that he was led to this project to honor Kenneth Lee Worley.

From the age of 16, Tom White grew up as a West Texas carpenter from Midland, Texas who had never had an interest in, nor been exposed to art. In his early thirties, after developing a relationship with God through Christ, Tom discovered an unknown talent and love for art originally expressed in wood carving, sketching and pastels. Within a few months Tom picked up sculpting with an ease that was astonishing.

When Tom took his first sculpture of a native American Indian, "Edgewalker", to one of the largest foundries in Texas, they were amazed that he could capture so much emotion and detail in his portrait bronze without 20 years of sculpting experience. Tom acknowledges that his unique talent is a gift from God and he seeks to reflect God’s creativity by mirroring the love and emotion God has for His creation in each bronze sculpture Tom creates. Tom’s attention to detail is magnificent and bronze comes alive under his patient and steadfast hands.

Tom’s body of work as a bronze sculptor has evolved into a line of figurative, commemorative and memorial sculptures in monumental, life size bronze sculptures, and tabletop bronze sculptures as well as monumental bronze sculptures representing what he calls "Heritage Heroes". Tom does bronze portraits of children, soldiers, Native Americans, historical figures,religious figures, Biblical stories, wildlife, modern-day heroes such as teachers and mentors, loved ones, pets, sports figures, and symbolic themes both in bronze as well as in oil.

Tom also specializes in creating unique corporate themed bronze sculptures of different trades and professions. If you would like a life-size or smaller bronze statute of a family member, favorite hobby or beloved pet, please feel free to contact Tom directly to discuss your bronze sculpture project ideas.

Dad would like to thank you Tom for allowing yourself to be led to this project.  Like so many of us, it has become a way of life to see that American learns as much about Kenneth Lee Worley as possible.  Perhaps, when this project is over, we can all band together again in search of another "quiet & forgotten Hero" who gave their all.
