My first clay sculpture, my "mini me."

Read my story behind this piece,

"Why Artists Need To Take Risks"

Studying with Preston Jackson, I created my first full body sculpture, a 2-foot replica of myself in oil based clay. My piece, “Innocence” was part of the exhibition “Celebrate 20” at the Contemporary Art Center in 2016.

Before I made my sculpture, Innocence, I first made this mask of myself in oil based clay.
