Manuelita

I specialize in bronze figurative sculptures commemorating great people and celebrating the significance of ordinary people. My sculptures are intended to seek an emotional response—I want you to relate to the humanity of my subjects and to recognize that you are part of the same human family. Too often today, a person subconsciously views another with suspicion or fear based on skin color, faith, or language. Sometimes resulting in harm and even death. I create sculptures intended to elicit compassion and a sense of common humanity–of identification with the “other”. I have completed several large projects including 8 life-size dolphins, in the La Jolla UTC shopping mall, the King Triton and Sojourner Truth at UC San Diego, and the Encinitas Child greeting people in Encinitas, CA along Hwy 101. Harriet Tubman: Following Her Star will be installed in Lincoln Park, Pomona, CA. Smaller limited-edition bronzes are suitable for table, pedestal, or niche display in the home or garden.
