Denyce Graves

Denyce Graves, the celebrated American mezzo-soprano, is my sister- in- law. I belong to the many who adore Denyce's voice, thrilling stage presence and musical skills, and above all, I love and respect the quality of her being.

This intimate portrait I created at her residence over the Christmas holiday of 2001 shows some of these aspects. I feel this sculpture captures her depth and her innocence. Inner and Outer beauty!

This is the second copy of eight. The first copy found a dominant place in David and Denyce's home. This portrait can also be ordered with a red/brown patina. For an additional cost, I can execute the base in various woods or in natural stone.
