Mixed media sculpture flame effect dancer leaping
Firefly  - SOLD
Hand made paper adds the sense of movement to this leaping flame. A second mixed media piece which had a 'try this and see if it works' approach plus a 'now leave it alone' command! 
Paper sculpture female dancer with high leg lift
Night Flight - dance sculpture
A bit different in style - playing with texture and focusing on shape rather than detail. This was great fun to do! Very freeing to work in this way. I should do more like this.
Paper sculpture male dancer in grand jete with blue scarf
Leap of Joy - SOLD
Based on the fabulous Cuban Osiel Gouneo, who always looks like he's having so much fun when he dances. His leaps and pirouettes are mind bogglingly accomplished.
Mixed media sculpture female dancer in arabesque balanced against male dancer
Double rainbow  - SOLD
My first piece using mixed media and I pick a duo!  A looser style but it was a challenge to keep it that way -  leaving out the detail and letting the shapes do the talking.  I'll do more like this.

This is the place for rhythmic, artistic and acro gymnastics.

Paper sculpture rhythmic gymnast backbend with ball
Hold Tight  
I love rhythmic ball routines which show a variety of methods to move and capture the apparatus with the gymnast's amazing flexibility. This piece is both elegant and eye catching.
Paper sculpture acro pair in 1 arm hand balance
Hand in Hand
An acro mixed pair showing the fine tuned awareness of each other's position that makes this balance so amazing.

Earth to Mars  NFS
I made this after watching Space X launch the Falcon Heavy in 2018. Seems they have a plan for Mars and this little one is also about stretching the limits and pointing the way! 
Enter the big top! Hand balancers, aerialists and contortionists with eye catching skills. 
Polymer clay sculpture female cirque acrobat in backbend
At Ease - acrobat sculpture
A basic warm up stretch with a nice variation. Based on a vaguely remembered image of a young Soviet gymnast on the beam many years ago. It's all about gentle curves to make a pleasing shape.
Paper sculpture female acrobat in 1 arm hand balance
Twist n Turn 
A delicate little piece of an artfully balanced cirque artiste. The performer initiates the block's rotation while holding this all the while. I just love seeing this kind of control and have always appreciated this beautiful shape.
