Verre Sculpture

I’ve been creating things since I’m a young child. I enjoyed spending time sewing, re-using scraps and left over materials from everywhere to develop new projects. In my family, from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, I was presented with lots of possibilities. My mother was an art teacher and I watched her doing things all the time. My Grandma, who also lived with us, was a seamstress with incredible amounts of scraps of fabrics. My father was a writer, professor, oil painter and gallery owner. Canvasses, wires, needlepoint lines, wool, leather, beads, colors, paper, scissors, paint, wood, metals, tools of all sorts were always part of my daily routines and I happily used them all! http://www.lourdestorgersen.com
