Artist's description of the art piece: "My sculpture titled 'Awake' captures a woman suspended in ethereal grace. The fabric of her blanket cascading to the ground far beyond where her feet would touch creates the illusion of weightlessness and feeling of awakening.

"I portray positive and inspiring messages, which speaks to viewers in an honest way at a deep, emotional level. Every figure starts with study, whether it is studying a model sitting in front of me, pictures of clothing and hairstyles, an anatomy book or a person’s life and works. I know a sculpture is done when it has a life of its own, when I can feel its presence sitting in my studio."
