About Me

I am a traditionally trained sculptor with a strong understanding of human and animal anatomy and a strong understanding in 3D composition. My experiences include: armature construction, clay modeling, and various methods of casting. Other skills include chasing plater, wax, and various metals, large and small scale sculpture, and relief and medallions. I enjoy working out my ideas as 2D thumbnail sketches and as 3D terrocotta bozzetti. My colleagues would describe me as ambitious, passionate, and work focused.

I'm originally from Washington DC and also enjoy drawing, surfing, and music.

“I see the purpose of my work as a way for people to see the humanity within themselves.”

—Chris Kunk, 2019
