FELICIA BIG SISTER

My inspiration for my bronze, Big Sister is sisters, how they hold close relationships, respect and admirations for an older sister. I work directly with oil base clay and live models,capturing a strong likeness along with my own creative vision of simplicity and elegance. When finishing the image I incorporate high polish lines, a dazzle of turquoise, and paint beads to enhance my designs (a recognizable signature of mine for over 30 years) along with different acid washes, known as patinas. Most of my bronzes depict the Native American female, which is expressed in senuous curves, tension of emotion, with minimal forms. I portray the Native American because they are the original inhabitants of our continent, and they should not be forgotten.
