Amber Lelli has been Sculptor, Alan LeQuire’s studio manager for the last 7 years. During this time, she has become a significant artist in her own right, having recently unveiled an incredibly exciting sculpture for the new Donelson Library in partnership with Metro Arts Nashville.

Celestial Falls is a suspended sculpture measuring 28 feet long by 17 feet tall, depicting flora and fauna indigenous to Middle Tennessee. Each piece was hand sculpted and fully gilded. In celebration of this 2-year feat, Lelli continues with her first solo exhibition, REST IN PIECES, February 8 – March 20, 2025.

REST IN PIECES includes a variety of sculpture, many with elements of gilding, which is a direct nod to the Celestial Falls project.
