What made it especially great was that she had in-progress pieces on display, so you could get an idea of her process. As you can see, she first creates each piece in clay. From that a mold is created, which she uses to complete the piece in plaster, bronze, or other materials (that I don’t remember.)
Her display was up for a month and once a week she returned to work on her two pieces and to interact with passersby. I love the sense of motion she has captured in the piece below! Just like a toddler: always on the go.
Most of Ellen’s work is figurative. The large piece below is bronze.
The piece above is plaster.
Ellen’s work is on display in this gallery rear round, and also on her website. Check it out when you’re in the area.

P.S. I’m working on a figurative quilt right now, too. Sneak peeks soon.
