Inspirational Artists

I have had a really difficult time only choosing a few artists that inspire my work. I feel I am always taking things in and making notes from a variety of inspirational sources. I then decided to focus on my next personal project and artists that will influence a new piece of mine. I am expanding out of my normal artistic box a bit and beginning to grow as an artist. These are the artists that have inspired me through this process.

Carole A. Feuerman



Carole A. Feuerman has been widely acknowledged as one of the most hyper-realist sculptors in the world. She has been in many exhibits around the world displaying her beautiful body sculptures.

Fanny Alloing



Fanny Alloing began experimenting with plaster strips, in her sculpture, and the act of capturing emotion after a death in her family. Fanny, a French artist also uses silk and paper in her works of art. I enjoy the rough edges and raw qualities of her work. 

Gavin Worth



Gavin Worth, a self taught artist, experiments with line and the fluid motions of the body in his sculptures. These minimalist sculptures are beautiful and seem so delicate to the touch.

Shayla,
Thank you for turning me on to some new exciting artists!
I must admit I am a little bit creeped out by Feuermans, hyper real sculptures yet they are undeniably amazing.

And with Gavin Worth's I am inspired to try my own hand at using wire.
