Description Here is my most recent set of sculptures. The 'Worrier Mother', 'Draging the World Around With You', 'Expecting Mother', 'Soulful Prayer', and 'Job'. Made of clay, hand sculpted, bisque fired, and finished with a special mixture of paints to give them a depth, glow, and metalic look. The women I sculpt are usually inspired by some moment in my life. But I have found that almost every person studying the sculptures and reading the meaning behind them can identify a moment in their lives where they have felt the same way. 'Job' is inspired by the Bible Story of Job. It is the moment at the end of his stay in the desert, where he is diseased, starved, and outcasted....Then after his troubling fight with his faith, he finally realized what faith was all about.
Christy LaRoy Member Since August 2007 Artist Statement I am a regular person who loves to observe life, and everything around me. I have always had an art influence, from my family. In college I started my own art journy, and have been creating beautiful work ever since.
I love life, my family, my friends, and my God. They are the biggest influences of my work. I mostly focus on pottery, and small sculptures, but enjoy expermenting new mediums, and going back to an occasional watercolor, or calligraphy project. I do love photography and take many pictures which I love to use for inspiration.
