HOWARD HAARER

 

While at Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan, I pursued double majors in Biology and Fine Arts and graduated with a BA in 1969. After graduation I taught art for four years at Macomb Community College in Warren, Michigan followed by a thirty year career as a Design Sculptor at General Motors Design Center. In 1995, I earned certification as a digital animator with training at Alias/Wavefront Studios in Toronto, Canada and in 2005, retired as a Lead Sculptor from GM Design. I have participated in group and solo shows and my work can be found in private collections throughout the country. My current studio work consists of free standing and wall relief, cast bronze and aluminum. My studio foundry is located in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
