Spring Gallery

About the Artist

Spring Gallery is a full time online exhibition site. Following 12 years of brick and mortar summer shows we have reconfigured our outreach plan and are focusing on presenting art works through our popular eBay store along with a selected consignment in Maine. This year, you can find our artworks in the Sugarwood Gallery, Farmington.
Our tradition of presenting art works, mostly in cast bronze, objects you will want to touch and explore, continues ... Art doesn't have to be expensive and difficult to understand. It can be, but it also can be something small, something familiar imagined differently, to touch you in a meaningful way.
As the third generation family owner of Modern Art Foundry, established in 1932, serving artists with fine art casting services for over 80 years, it is our hope that Spring Gallery will share with you some of our customers work and introduce you to MAF Design Works.

This ''Artists Foundry'' offers every aspect of sculpture services from modeling to patina, and our maintenance and conservation services provide public and private collectors ongoing care for sculptures installed both outdoors and indoors. The creation of unique works through our Commemorative Design Services continues to serve community need for monuments and memorials, including many in the state of Maine. Our foundry is located in Astoria, New York and we welcome inquiries from artists considering having their works cast.

The art of lost wax casting, practiced for over 4000 years, is an incredibly precise metal casting technique. Properly executed, it ensures accurate, detailed reproduction of an original sculpture. Historically used for many types of work from miniature to colossal in size, the process allows for variations in finish and final appearance. Artistic and labor intensive, projects may take weeks or more leading to ultimate value in every creation.

Jeffrey Spring, third generation owner of Modern Art Foundry, established Spring Gallery in Belgrade and created MAF Designs. He is a graduate of University of Maine, his wife was raised in Mt. Vernon, Maine, and they maintain property in the Belgrade Lakes region. Modern Art Foundry has cast many of our state’s historic monuments including the “John Ford Monument” in Portland, “General Joshua Chamberlain” in Brunswick, “Man for All Seasons - Harold Alfond” in Orono, the “Samantha Smith Memorial,” and “Law Enforcement Memorial” in Augusta. We have also loaned bronze sculpture to the Holocaust and Human Rights Center of Maine in Augusta, the Maine Lakes Resource Center in Belgrade, and the Union Church in Belgrade.
