Andy Wright 05-07-2005 Beautiful work Heidi. You truly are a talent, and hopefully you can find more time to devote to producing more works in the near future. I was feeling a little burnt out from pushing clay around today, but looking through your site has given me a much needed dose of inspiration to get back to work again. look forward to seeing your new works, http://www.artifexcreations.co.uk/ Deon vd Westhuizen 05-05-2005 Hi Heidi Like you it is hard to be creative and have a family. I know what you mean by being up all night because the piece just draws you in and all is forgotten. I have recently picked up my tools after a long break, and it all because of you. Your talent and beauty that flows from your work has inspired me to new heights. I am going to order your ebook. Thank for sharing your talent with us and I wish you the best for the future.

Incredible work, Heidi. As I also live in the Valley, I hope to meet you soon (and see your pieces in person!).

I paint portraits and do some graphic work. Your scultures are unbelieveable! I watched your demostrations and did not realize it was so involved. I have tried some reliefs years ago without much success. You are truely fortunate to have discovered the talent that God has blessed you with.

Garth Herrick - 2004-04-29 19:26:45

I was closest to fame 15 years ago when I sculpted the the life size maquette for the worlds largest bronze horse after Leonardo da Vinci. I have my first terracotta portrait sculpture which is vaguely inspired by the works of Houdon, on display in the "Introduce Yourself" forum. Being the first time it was a nightmare to hollow out and fire. You have a very nice website. If I get the nerve to make another sculpture, I may be interested in you Ebook. Thanks, Garth

There is a new development being planned for the North sector of Las Vegas in which over a hundred high end homes will be built. The developers are extremely family oriented and, therefore, want many bronze (or other materials) sculptings depicting children at play and families. I will be in charge of the creative aspects of this project as well as others they have in mind. You have a very delightful touch to your work which I feel must be incorporated in the project's ultimate presentation. I have built a complete theme park before and have employed many of the nation's top sculptors and I recognize fine talent when I see it! Please contact me.

Ryan Wollard - 2004-04-29 19:22:23

Great site, you are very talented. Do you sculpt freehand or make a mold? I don't have a lot of experience in your medium. I used to sculpt stone, but haven't been able to (due to lack of work space) for several years. To make up for it, I started painting.

Comment: I appreciate the site and delighted in the sculptures. I endorse any attempt to utilise the web to freely offer and exchange information. I am moving up from mask making (as in face masks) to sculpting the figure and portraits after doing puppet making. To make a head happen is easy but to reprise a particular living being is so very hard to do. So I gotta work through what I know, what I think I know, and what I need to know. When I look at sites like this I recognise that the primary challeng

Comment: Well, mylady, what can I say. I was druling at the mouth(almost) when I saw the likeness between photos and the scultures of heads in clay. I have tried to do some caricatures from pictures on the web, but I can never get the expressions in the eyes correct. I really admire your giftedness. I have bookmarked your site and will tell the members in our pottery club of your homepage.
