Geisha Noirceur (darkness)




I have taken more time with this one and hopefully it shows. Oh how I love the grace of the human form (said that one before :) This gal will be sort of a goth Geisha. This is just a pic of her quite raw and one of her complete without her display. Finally a pic of her with full display. SOLD

The Snow Queen




My latest--still feeling winter and now we have had our first dusting of the white magic. I was inspired by this pose from the London Ballet of The Snow Queen. She's paperclay over armature with glass beads, vintage lace, feathers and silk with mohair for her white locks. She stands 13" including her base. SOLD

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.
