About Jacques and Mary:

Each piece of bronze or wood has a song that was never sung. Yielding to their tools, you see a dream unfold that comes from within. Jacques and Mary Regat, a husband and wife team of sculptors, unite their talents in the creation of their work. Their art is a bold statement of their inner feelings, of their deep ties to the land of Alaska, its people, history, legends, and the greatness of its rugged wilderness.

Jacques' career began in France where he taught himself to paint and carve in clay, wood and stone. While at the same time working with metal, learning the trade of machinist, tool and die maker which eventually led him to graduate from the College d' Enseignement Technique De Vitry, France.

Mary, primarily a self taught artist, began carving wood while living in a remote logging camp on Prince of Wales Island in Southeast Alaska. Her first efforts were a 28 foot dug out canoe. Traveling north she took up residence in Anchorage, Alaska and began sculpting in stone. Her style is expressive and impressionistic, capturing the emotions and moods of her subjects.

Thirty-three years ago, making Anchorage their home, Jacques and Mary met and they began combining their talents to create pieces which extend beyond what one could do alone. They are currently displaying their work throughout the United States and Canada.
