Drew Goerlitz is a sculptor who works in a wide variety of materials, ranging in scale from intimate gallery sculpture to large-scale permanent outdoor commissions. Originally from upstate New York, Goerlitz grew up reconstructing hot rods as a hobby alongside his father. This early interest in metal fabrication paved the way for later exploration during his undergraduate studies in sculpture. Goerlitz received his MFA from University of Maryland and the David C. Driskell Award for outstanding Masters Research and Teaching in 2003. He was the recipient of the International Sculpture Center’s Outstanding Student Achievement the same year. Goerlitz has been teaching Sculpture since 2003 and is currently an Associate Professor at Plattsburgh State University.

Goerlitz has shown his work in a number of solo shows, group exhibitions and public art spaces including exhibitions at The Everson Museum of Art (Syracuse, NY), Delaware Center for Contemporary Arts (Wilmington, DE), Selection Artfair Basel (Basel Switzerland, Hirshhorn Museum (Washington, DC), Museum of Contemporary Art in Merida (Yucatan, Mexico), and Neues Museum (Salem, Germany).
