SCULPTURE OF THE WEEK 12/19

This week I wanted to tell you about my sculpture, Ange de Fantasie. Created in bronze and standing atop a base of rough-cut green marble, Ange de Fantasie has a bit of Crique du Soleil, and a bit of pure fantasy. First I apply a patina with fire and chemicals, then hand apply a luxurious mixture of metallic waxes. She was chosen for the cover of Tampa Bay Magazine in their holiday issue of last year. I thought it would be fitting to share her story with you this holiday season, a year after the editorial in Tampa Bay Magazine was published!

SCULPTURE OF THE WEEK

 This week I wanted to talk a bit about my piece, The Kiss. It is cast in bronze and then patinaed with rich colors. It comes on a black marble lazy-susan base. Two lovers melt in this ethnic inspired piece. It was inspired by love, life, passion and movement, and all timeless pleasures.

My home and sculptures featured in the North Pinellas Times

SCULPTURE OF THE WEEK

This week I wanted to share a bit about my piece, "Before Time". He is cast in bronze and patinaed with deep, rich colors. He comes on a base of custom stainless steel. Dragons are my guardians. This is the first dragon – out in space. Before space. Before time. Becoming from his own thoughts. Growing his own universe. He is All. He is Nothing. He is eternal. He is before eternity. He IS.

SCULPTURES OF THE WEEK 11/23

I have posted about these pieces, but I wanted to celebrate with you that I sold both of these sculptures within the past week! The one who Learned to fly is a sculpture dedicated to my daughter. The message is that we can all learn to fly, spiritually, physically or emotionally. The Galactic Samurai is a piece dedicated to a very well known figure who has done far more than most, and to all the beings that reach out across space and time to fight for what they believe in.

African Queen

Sculpture of the week 11.16.11

This week I wanted to post something about my piece, "African Queen". I traveled with my daughter to Africa for three months. One country we visited was Mali,one of the poorest countries in the world. I met a man who lived in a one-bedroom house with his family of 35 people. Most people cook, eat, work, socialize and sleep on the street. Every day I would sketch and make notes. This sculpture is from a sketch of a woman who, although she was extremely poor, carried herself like a queen.
