Beulah Wiley Portrait Bust ( click image to view slideshow)
Mrs. Wiley was a well-known community activist who founded the Central Virginia Community Health Center in 1970. I sculpted the bust from old/faded photographs and accounts from her family members. The portrait bust is now displayed in the newly remodeled and growing Health Center. I feel privileged to have created a bust that honored such an individual highly valued by her community.
21" (tall) x 23" x 12" ( not including pedestal) | Completed in 2012.
The bust is made from porcelain, her glasses are made of bronze.

The Baker-Butler Reading Bear (click image to view slideshow)
This sculpture was part of the “Tom Tom Founders Festival of Music, Arts, & Innovation” in Charlottesville, Virginia. Over 1,000 children and adults were invited to press their fingers into the bear when it was wet clay. Their combined finger imprints created a texture for the bear’s fur. This sculpture is now on permanent display in front of Baker-Butler Elementary School in Charlottesville, VA. This piece is colored with underglazes. (There is a wooden armature inside the fired clay bear.)
5' (tall) x 4.5' x 4.5' | Completed in 2012. | Made from stoneware clay and wood.
