MEET MICHAEL TIZZANO

Sculptor, innovator, and creator of beauty in art, Michael Tizzano offers over thirty years of experience in figurative bronze sculpture. With great attention to detail and precision in his work, Mr. Tizzano has created large scale bronze sculptures for the Central Ohio region, such as the Old Worthington Library, the Dublin Historic Downtown, and Westerville Recreation Center. Mike’s most recent accomplishment is the sculpture of astronaut Neil Armstrong for the city of Wapakoneta, Ohio.

Uniquely, through community “Public Sculpting Events,” he sculpts the Old Worthington Library’s “Reading with Friends,” an outdoor bronze comprised of storybook animals, a historical gathering place – Dublin, Ohio, “Daily Chores,” or Westerville’s “The Chase,” three children engaged in soccer.

As a retired middle school art educator, Mike relishes in the curiosity of a three-year-old wanting to touch clay, an onlooker asking questions about how the piece is engineered, or a mom with two children inquiring about the bronze processes. Bringing his years of talent, imagination, and energy to the magical unfolding, from start to finish, of his artwork – he captures the vision of each community’s desire.

With degrees in Art Education and post-graduate work in bronze casting, he grew up in Upper Arlington, Ohio, and later, Delaware, Ohio. Mike specializes in large scale sculptures as well as smaller bronze and ceramic works portraying children, ballet dancers, and athletes engaged in expressive movement.

Testimonials

• “We are used to seeing special moments of childhood sculpted and for sale, but these are the special moments of our children and their childhood. It is such a gift that Mike Tizzano has made his talents available for us. Mike worked closely with us with photos, updates, and appointments to make sure that the sculptures were accurate and met our expectations. Creating sculptures from photographs of childhood is a gift that Mike has captured. These pieces are unique and one-of-a-kind! Thank you again!! They came out amazing!”

  Margaret Kennedy, who commissioned two sculptures of her sons from when they were quite young

• “I am the lucky, fortunate owner of two Michael Tizzano sculptures. My first is a terra cotta piece of my two beautiful Border Collies, Shadow and Shine. He captured their lively, fun-filled personalities! The second is a bronze piece of two little boys gazing in total wonder into a bird’s nest they have found. Mike is a magician in capturing the awe and wonder that is childhood, and this piece defines that talent and skill. I smile every time I look at both of my sculptures. I urge anyone who is looking for a unique, memorable gift to consider Mike Tizzano and Tizzano Sculpture”
