| For each
expectant mother there is the treasure of experiencing the creation of life. It is with
great passion that I express a mother’s love for creating the ‘art of life’
with my love for creating ‘life as art’ and transform this human treasure into
Fine Art. Together we can preserve and share this creative moment of your life’s time
for all the ages. This process to create
this art is both time-sensitive and time-enduring. While most of my belly-casting
colleagues, in order to save time and expense for their subjects, will cast a
mother’s belly with only plaster gauze to create a mask as a sculpture quickly, my
style is more detailed.
I make an alginate mold of the mother.
Alginate is a completely safe, thinly layered non-toxic rubber molding that takes about 4
minutes to set |

process. |

| The finished piece
will be a thin layer of plaster poured into the original alginate mold, reinforced with
fiberglass in a second layer of plaster. Each sculpture is then sealed, painted with a
basic finish, and ready to hang on any wall. If you require a more elaborate faux
finish to your sculpture, please check out - Fauxever. |

| I'm located in
New Brunswick, New Jersey, an approximate 30-minute drive from New York. At the time of
your casting, please come accompanied by a companion. This will help save on expenses that
I would otherwise have to pass on to you. As a modest discretion, the expectant mother can
wear a bra or bathing suit top. This initial modeling session in creating the mold will
take approximately 1/2 hour. I will notify you upon the completion of the sculpture. Since this is a very special time for each mother, I try to keep
all costs to a minimum for a basic cast. For me, this is a "reaffirmation of
life".
