“Journey to That” metal sculpture by Denise Molina

227 Congress Ave.
Austin, Texas 78701 Get Directions
La Peña presents “Journey to That” an art exhibit of metal sculptures by Denise Molina. It will be taking place from October 8th through 28th at its gallery space in Downtown Austin. The opening reception will be on Friday, October 8th from 6:00 – 8:00 pm that will also feature live music by Latin at Heart.

Denise Molina became infatuated with the Idea of sculpting metal in the mid 1980s and wanted to learn welding. In 1986 she attended Capitol City Trade and Technical School in Austin and became a certified welder. Afterwards she worked on two new high-rise buildings that were being built in Austin at the time. After a very close call during their construction, she quickly remembered that the reason she pursued welding was the creative part of it. Soon she began to create sculptures in her tiny garage. In no time at all she was in love. A trip to Europe to study with master blacksmith Hans Lothman just fanned that flame. Upon returning, she started Molina’s Metal Art Studio where she designs and builds decorative furniture. She has continued to create metal sculpture and also teaches young children and others metal art. She recently joined a metal cooperative where she spends all her spare time creating metal sculpture.
