BIOGRAPHY

Kendall Polster was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in 1967. He graduated magna cum laude from the University of Georgia, with majors in zoology and microbiology, and then worked as a blood research biologist and briefly attended the Medical College of Wisconsin. He learned to weld from an older brother who makes a living as an auto mechanic, and made his first sculpture—of his little dog Tuffy—while feeling depressed over the end of a relationship with a girlfriend. Polster lives in Milwaukee and makes sculpture full-time. "The irony," he says, "is that for all the schooling I have had, my brother, who has several learning disabilities and didn't even graduate from high school, taught me what I do for a living. All the most important things."
