I honestly felt so blessed to be able to make that leap. Every day, I had to drive one hour to and from school, and I remember getting tears in my eyes from feeling so lucky to do so! It took guts and determination but I was blessed with children and an amazing husband that not only supported my decision but encouraged me wholeheartedly!
The art pcs photo is SOFT MELODY is one of my pride and joy. In creating this piece, I pushed my limits and the limits of bronze. I aligned three beautiful ballerinas in different graceful poses, with their legs and arms positioned strategically to create the sense of movement and the sense of music flowing through the dancers. None of the dancers touch the ground, all three are sculpted in different expressive poses, dancing tirelessly to the music. Only one of the dancer’s dresses touches the ground, allowing the sculpture to be supported. The fabric of the dress from the third dancers flows in a cascading ripple giving the sense of continuous movement. The chosen patina, a soft whisper of pink, adds to the delicate feeling of this sculpture.
