Wesley Wofford
Emmy and Academy Award-winning sculptor Wesley Wofford works from his private studio in the North Carolina Mountains. His style emphasizes the human presence and is characterized by a dynamic use of form and texture. His diverse body of work and his unique vision for sculptural language produce powerful commissions. Wesley’s monuments provoke passionate responses, and he is known for his intimate, emotionally charged portraits.
Wesley always prefers to work from life. It is easier to reveal the soul by direct interaction with the subject. That being said, many times the portrait is being done posthumously or the subject is not available for sittings. Wesley can also produce a magnificent likeness from photos and/or video archives. Examples of these are intermingled throughout his portfolio, and specifics are available upon request. This commission process describes an available subject. An archive commission is similar with the omission of subject interaction.
