  • Working with a life model is as close as you can get, like figuring out a real life puzzle. It's interesting to see how the pose changes, to see the model breathe.

  • I completed three wonderful workshops at Figura before diving into the two-year Complete Sculpture Program. Besides the great teachers and their thoughtful guidance, I love that the part-time nature of the program allows me to continue my jewelry making: newly informed by the sculpting techniques I learn at Figura!

  • I like that you learn to understand what happens with such a body. It's not just about creating a beautiful line, but also, why does that line appear? What can I do with that line? Understanding where it originates from and why it finds peace in a pose, Thát's what I enjoy.
