Sculptor Jerome Soble works in bronze, marble, stainless steel, and cast glass. He also creates monumental aluminum and stained glass kinetic sculpture and aluminum and copper wall reliefs.

Soble graduated from the Detroit Institute of Technology. He studied sculpture at Oakland Community College and Wayne State University in Michigan and in Italy. From 1985 to 1993, he worked at the Johnstone Sculpture Studio in Laurel, Florida.

I enjoy creating sculptural metaphors and feel art should be thought provoking as well as aesthetically intriguing, whenever possible. Creating the bronze bust of Max Fisher was an enlightening and delightful experience for me. To be able to engage Max in conversation while sitting in my studio was almost as rewarding as creating the finished sculpture. This quiet diplomat, whom I've had the privilege of interacting with at various communal functions, is a man of inner strength and compassion. These were the traits I tried to capture in his bust, and to a great extent I believe I was successful.
