Although anatomy, composition, negative space and understanding the form will be stressed, the primary goal will be helping students to understand more of the intangible aspects of the creative process.

Models will be present, but they will be used only to help you move into your own interpretations. No two artists will work from the same pose. By using this method, uneasiness is eliminated from the workshop environment to allow students to push themselves past a previous "best".

Students will learn how the great masters of sculpture exaggerated proportions to add more spirit and life to the work. The workshop will be held at the Creamery Art Center in Hotchkiss Colorado. While the workshop will be held from 9am to 4pm, the studio
will remain open until 6pm so that students may continue to work and explore after each day's class ends.

For more information or questions about the workshop please contact: JoAnn Price at 970.835.3065 Workshop and area information packets will be sent after registration is complete.

"My Art allows me to explore what animates
us all-what drives us to grow beyond our
limitations -and become more and bigger
than our environment." - Lincoln Fox

Statement by the Artist:

After living in New Mexico for over twenty years, Lincoln and his wife, Rachelle, moved to the Western Slope of Colorado in 1990. Orchards, vineyards and ranches surround his studio, in a valley of snow-capped mountains. The area's beauty and tranquility provide
inspiration for his creativity.

Lincoln holds two master's degrees, and continues private studies in Europe, the Mediterranean, the Mid-East, and Africa.

He has been honored with one-man shows at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C., the Kennedy Galleries in New York City, and many museums and galleries across the nation. Lincoln has been a member of the National Sculpture Society in New York since 1982.

Some of his sculpture commissions include a 17' piece for the Albuquerque International Airport; an 18' piece for the Fine Arts Museum of Albuquerque; a 23' piece for a university in Texas; and a 14' piece near Montgomery, Alabama, dedicated by
President George Bush.

Lincoln has completed a 32' tall commission-the "Global Family Tree of Life", sanctioned by the United Nations (U.N.E.P.). The Japanese prefecture of Aishi commissioned the first piece for exhibition at their international park festival, held in Nagoya, Japan.

Lincoln's understanding of form, combined with his powerful modeling reveals the "breath of life" in each of his works.
