Beast + Ballerina II
This hand-sculpted hand-painted clay petal wall sculpture was commissioned by a luxury real estate developer for a main entry wall in one of their latest developments in Everett, MA. About 1,000 floral clay sculptures were hand-crafted and adhered onto a custom designed and routed wire mesh backing to create this 8 foot by 3.5 ft organic landscape. Watercolor and acrylics were then applied with a tiny brush by hand, petal by petal, leaving a white border around each petal to further enhance the textural quality of the work (my ‘stained glass’ painting technique).
Medium: Mixed Material

New York, United StatesI am a NYC-based artist creating highly textured wall-mounted clay sculptural installations out of hand-sculpted, hand-painted petals. I create custom original works on canvas and also free-form sculptural works backed on steel mesh. Projects range from just a foot or two to 20 feet or more. Sculpting everything from full-bodied roses to wild individual petal arrangements I employ a variety of painting and coloring techniques that include watercolor, acrylics, metallic alloy, sprays and even magic marker. I work both locally and internationally with designers, galleries and consultants in addition to dealing directly with clients. Clients include The Ritz-Carlton, The Waldorf Astoria and Greystar Apartments. DM me for special projects. Each work is one-of-kind.
