Just an FYI that sculptors Stuart Williamson, Blake Ketchum and I have just co-founded this new society:
"The Portrait Sculptors Society of the Americas" - The aim of the Portrait Sculptors Society of the Americas is to increase interest and awareness of the art of portrait and figurative sculpture in the Americas, to encourage and promote the profession, to make the skills and techniques accessible to a wider public, and to restore this ancient art to its former position of excellence.
The site is in its infancy, but please be sure to check it out at
