The Process for Commissioned Portraits
I work from life and from photographs. The ideal scenario is to meet in person for a photo session followed by at least two brief sittings. If you or the subject live outside of the area, or are unable to be present, I can guide you in the quantity and type of photographs most helpful to the process.
I sculpt in clay.
One of a kind pieces can be kiln fired or cast.
I also contract with a local foundary for bronze casting (from which a numbered series can be produced).
Ceramic, Bronze, and Acrylic Casting Options
Each piece is custom designed in collaboration with you as to materials, finish, and mounting which will determine the cost of the final piece.
