Portrait Sculpture

Portrait Sculpture by Amy Medford

As a portrait artist, I am committed to the expression of the essential beauty and dignity of each person I portray. I approach each portrait as a sculpture which should stand on its own merit as a work of art. Ultimately, the portrait is the representation of a unique individual as seen through my eyes. In my portraits I aspire to sculpt my subjects as if they possess the power of thought.

The Portrait Commission is a collaborative process that begins with an initial meeting. Where time and/or distance is a concern, the initial meeting will also include a photography shoot. This will be the foundation from which I will work. If distance and time permit, 2-3 studio sessions will be arranged. I will also work from your images when there is enough photographs and/or reference material available.

I also sculpt posthumous portraits when appropriate photographs and/or reference material is available.

The time required for the portrait sculpture will be dependent on our respective schedules. It will be my pleasure to work with you to make this process an enjoyable experiece.

The final portrait will be kiln fired Terra Cotta and set on a marble base. Bronze or Resin casting is available, please contact me for details.
