Many know me by the Bronze Mad Hatter Tea Party Sculpture in Evelyn’s Park titled Move One Place On. Evelyn’s Park was created for a loving mom by her two sons. The sculpture is there in memory of her. So when you go to Evelyn’s Park and enjoy looking for the 150 hidden things I put in the sculpture in honor of the 150th anniversary or chat with the characters, know it is Evelyn you must thank. My Favorite Winnie The Pooh I have always been a Winnie The Pooh fan. So, I’m looking for a place and a patron for four sculpture scenes of this beloved story. These scenes will be the destination site ..read more

Since 2018 with the installation of the Monumental Sculpture of Alice in Wonderland’s Mad Hatter Tea Party Called Move One Place On in Evelyn’s Park, Bellaire, Texas, I have been committed to bringing the public the hidden 150. What is that? Well, I hid 150 things in the sculpture in honor of the 150th anniversary of the story written by Lewis Carroll. When I was through with the sculpture, the park asked for the list of the 150, and I said no. I wanted to encourage literacy and curiosity, just like Lewis Carroll and Alice. (Please note, if you are looking for the things, it is not just what ..read more

When I’m not sculpting or writing, you can find me out in the woods. I love nature. I started the Houston Women’s Hiking group to help ladies hike safely. We are now over 7,000 members. I love to encourage. As many know, I have a YouTube channel for my art and one for the Alice project, but I also have another more recent one called Women Stepping Outside. The channel encourages women to step outdoors or step outside of their own emotional or spiritual confines to reach what they truly want to be. If you are interested in this channel, please subscribe. I’m having so much fun posting videos a ..read more

When contacted by Homespun Haints about doing a podcast segment, I was, at first, a little reserved. I mean, what I do is very intimate. But the ladies handled the subject about sculpting the deceased with great dignity. I thought I would put together a blog post with some links to the things we talked about on the show. If you have not heard it yet, here is the link to the podcast The Woman Who Sculpts the Deceased. I mentioned that Texas Country Reporter did a wonderful segment on my work with deceased loved ones. Here is that video. “Bringing To Life The Spirit of The Decea ..read more

I have been working with Booker T. Washington High School to create, not only a sculpture for their school, but also some educational blog posts for their Booker T. Washington Sculpture blog. Here is one on the scanning of booker T. I love this. FROM THE SCULPTOR’S STUDIO If you remember, back in September I reported about my friend Tom who came and scanned the small sculpture and the chair for me before I had to put the small maquette of Booker T. through the mold-making processes. I’m so glad he could do that and wait to get paid because, as you can see, the sculpture was damaged i ..read more

TO COME: MORE PROCESS PHOTOGRAPHS, AND VIDEO ON THE CREATION OF EVE. It was not long ago that my sculpture of Eve was installed at Generation Park. We never had a dedication because of the the pandemic.

There are so many stories behind this sculpture. Many are miraculous to me. One day I hope to share. Hello All,  As we approach the Holiday weekend I cannot help but feel that regardless of creed, race or religion the celebra ..read more

Pixologic has lots of tutorials on different things concerning creating and 3D printing. FROM THE ARTIST’S STUDIO You may remember that in previous posts, sculptor Bridgette Mongeon talked about G-code.

Just like when you work on a picture on the internet, there are many different types of files. For example, you can create a photo file as jpg, png. giff, pdf’s and more . There are also many kinds of files, depending on the software you are using ..read more
