Mimi Sammis, a TV host and sculptress, talks with Virginia about her art and it's effect on people worldwide.
Anne Mimi Sammis supports the global work for peace with her artwork entitled One Thousand Years of Peace, an exhibition of 30 bronze sculptures. This body of work was exhibited at the United Nations in 2001. It was previously shown at the United Nations in 1999 and following that at The Hague, Netherlands, in conjunction with The Hague Appeal for Peace Conference. Ms. Sammis has received a commission from the Archbishop of Canterbury for Lambeth Palace, England to honor Queen Elizabeth II's Golden Jubilee, June 2002. "The creative energy that Mimi Sammis finds in the process of bronze casting is reflected in her exuberant yet graceful figurative sculptures. Whether they are dancing with abandon or reaching for the heavens, Sammis's human forms express a freedom of movement that becomes a metaphor for the artist's spiritual convictions." -Nancy Whipple Grinnell, Curator -Newport Art Museum, Newport, RI.
