Jim Prokell
What is your experience sculpting?
I'm a 1st year SOS member—my submission is titled: "Private Moment." I have sculpted corporate sculptures and commissions for collectors and institutions. I am self-taught.
Preferred Media?
I prefer modeling with clay.
Typically, what inspires you?
I love the figure/portraits and I am inspired by light and nature.
What are your sculpting goals?
I always want my work to appear lighter than it is. I am forever conscious of gravity and how it allows my work to breathe.
