Clay sculptures that tell your story

An original work of art for the home that captures moments in your life inspired by nature, cultural or personal stories.
Let me tell your stories that will be cherished for generations.
I never tire of the amazing stories that I hear when creating a life mask. It's always fascinating to experience the client's years of joyful and wild journeys, tender love stories, travels around the world and those adventures in life that are both surprising and humorous. Even the losses and sad endings have there place in the telling of their stories. It has been a privilege to be trusted with such treasures and know that these works of art will become a legacy to grace a family's history for generations.

Oh my goodness Rebecca, do I have questions!!!!
How long, how much, can I just purchase one that's not of me or are you kidding, who would want a sculpture of me!
These are just a few of the questions I get when one first views the work, finds out they could have their own image captured in a moment or just purchase an African or themed masks not of themselves.
Here's some answers to those questions:
How long does it take to create a life mask?
If you are having a life mask created, the actual making of the mold is only 15-20 minutes. You'll be at the studio for about an hour from start to finish, which includes preparation, clean up and discussion of design, unless there are more than one molds being made. It's a messy process with a beautiful work of art finish. I make it a very relaxing and comfortable experience and describe the process on the Creating a life mask page. The actual creating of the piece may take approximately 1-3 months depending on where you are on the commission que.
Otherwise, you can choose a piece that I have already created in the African, Nature, Sgraffito or other themed collections, if available. They will have set prices. If you see one that has been sold and you would like one similar then we can begin the design discussion and pricing. Depending on my schedule and work I will let you know specific timing.
How much does it cost?
That will depend on the size, design and complexity of the commission. Each one is unique, your very own image or another we have decided upon. We will discuss in full before you come for the taking of the mold what the cost may be.
Why would anyone want a sculpture of me?
That's a question I love to answer. If you are a parent, sibling, couple, daughter or son, even a friend, photographs are taken endlessly with our phones and cameras to remember the moments. This is a 3 dimensional image captured moment of someone you want to celebrate in a very unique way and it could be of you! What a conversation piece it will be in one's home for many generations.
My mother was the most amazing woman, my champion and best friend. I was fortunate enough to capture this sweet moment a few years before she passed in 2004. The simple, but precious life sculpture of Momma Love is below. She loved gardenias, the garden and I get to share my mother with so many when people are drawn to her in the studio or at a show. I want that for you! Who better to tell your own story. I can help you tell it!
