“I’m most known for my hyperrealistic sculptures of swimmers and bathers, complete with every freckle and water drop. I sculpt the human figure so lifelike, the pieces seem to breathe…This can take up to 100 different coats of paint, and glazing and sanding in between coats, to get the finish and luminosity needed. From start to finish, the process of creating a sculpture can take from 6 months to several years.”
