Bill Duffy is a master sculptor with over 30 years of experience.  His works can be seen in public and private collections around the world.  Among his many accomplishments are a national monument sculpture that is the centerpiece of a museum in Clinton, Tennessee, portrait statues of congressmen, and some of the most awesome public art displays ever created.  He has an enormous studio in Baltimore with every machine and tool imaginable.  He has several apprentice sculptors that work with him and each has at least 15 years of experience.  He is devoted to his wife Farah of 15 years.  He is a wonderful person and we are proud to call him a friend and business partner.  He is represented exclusively by The Large Art Company.

You could say that Bill was a child prodigy.  Born in Cambridge, Massachusetts in 1953, Bill spent his childhood years in rural New England.  His teachers recognized his drawing and sculpting talents when he was only 8 or 9 years old and sought out additional resources for him that would allow him to maximize his potential.  He sold his first commission sculpture at the age of 14.

Because of his early training under the tutelage of Mrs. Elinor Marvin in the Burlington, Massachusetts school system; he was accelerated into a scholarship program at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. At the Museum School Duffy completed his undergraduate diploma in Fine Arts, with a concentration in figurative sculpture and drawing. Subsequently, he entered the Johnson Atelier Technical Institute of Sculpture in Princeton, New Jersey, where he completed a three-year internship in state-of-the-art foundry techniques. The experiences gained at the Johnson Atelier have prepared Duffy to direct and execute all phases of design, fabrication, and installation of his large-scale public art projects. In 1983, Duffy received an MFA from University of Maryland at College Park.

Duffy is widely recognized for his intricately designed sculpture compositions for a variety of public and private collections. Duffy is increasingly involved in the planning of landscape around his work, including water as an element in his compositions. He works most often in bronze, stainless steel and granite to create durable works designed to withstand time, weather and human contact.

In 2004, Bill joined forces with The Large Art Company, one of the most respected bronze sculpture companies in the United States. Click here to see more of his body of work
