Her subject matter is diverse, ranging from wildlife to the human figure and all its complexities.

Esther also creates her own body of work that comes from the inspired body and soul of this artist. “There are pieces that come to me in visions so clear that I must drop everything to make notes and even start the sculpture right then. These works are incredible and so full of life that you cannot stop them or hold them back.”

“Many times I feel these pieces that have been inspired have been brought into reality for someone specifically. I’ll show a piece and it could be the 1st time or the 100th time, and then that special someone will walk up with enthusiasm and clarity, fall in love with and purchase this piece. There is a connection, and you can’t explain it or stop it.”

“Please come on in and enjoy this incredible world with me!”

She says, “It’s amazing to take thought and visions and bring them to a three-dimensional plane where the subject can be walked around and touched, and then to see how various light and shadows play on its surface. From imagination to reality - that’s what it’s all about! Let‘s give your dream life!”

Artist's Statement

As a sculptor, it is fascinating to look from a unique three-dimensional angle and see how life just leaps out. It is in this looking that the vision comes.

The vision is strong. It’s touchable and already in the third dimension in my mind. It comes to me as a gift and it begs to be shared with others. Excitement fills my spirit and a powerful energy wells up and bursts forth through guided hands to deliver the gift. The vision becomes tangible as it develops into a cold, still sculpture, yet exudes the telling emotion that I feel. The strength and presence is alive here and the excitement continues to grow.

As I move clay by hand or steel with flame, pushing, shaping and forming, the sculpture takes on a life of its own. This is a vision welcomed to the earthly plane. I stand back with amazement. I welcome it with my eyes in awe of what has happened before me. There is one step further and that is to share the formed vision with another who, with their eyes, sees the soul and life of what was purely imagination. The strength and longevity of these sculptures will outlive me. The observers can visit these sculptures for years. In the viewing of the sculpture, there is a touching of souls, the experience of a common emotion shared with another, and a chance to bring someone to the place where I have been to create this piece.

Imagination revealed…. imagine that!
