The George Sugarman Foundation

In December 2006 I was very thrilled to learn that I had been selected to receive an Artist Grant from The George Sugarman Foundation. The Foundation offers annual grants to artists who are engaged in creating new works of fine art.

George Sugarman (1012-1999), was a prolific, controversial, and forward-thinking American artist. His sculptures, drawings, and paintings defy a definitive style. As an innovator in pedestal-free sculpture and vividly painted metal sculptures, Sugarman was continually expanding on the metamorphosis of his prodigious creativity.
