Winter Awakening or La Plume Blanche

Next piece I am currently working on is La Plume Blanche. She is in a low dancer pose, balanced on one foot. Her hands reaching upwards toward the full awakening of the winter season. Here are photos of her progression--in the rough in order to show her pose to the finished piece. Really love this piece. Best one I have done. I LOVE the drama of this pose! SOLD

Red Dancer

In this piece I worked with the balance of the figure leaning back into a scarlet red cloth. I like the intrigue of the pose and I enjoyed hand painting her eyes. She is paperclay over armature, mohair, silk cloth and on a marble base.

Tree Of Life

This is my newest creation Tree Of Life. Here is a photo of her in her beginning stages and two of her near completion.

The Tree Of Life shows up in many cultures. The roots grow up into the sky with the branches reaching down into the earth. Here is where we understand that the material world and the spiritual world are but a reflection of one another as in the reflection of a tree at the water's edge. I have sculpted this piece in a Yoga pose called Adho Mukha Vrksasana which is translated as "Downward Facing Tree". The Tree Of Life is symbolized by the Banyon tree which is thought of as perfectly symbolizing life due to it's unending expansion.

She is currently for sale on ETSY; http://www.etsy.com/listing/76385842/tree-of-life
