TOULIE

I thank the people who taught me to sew for my career as a sculptor, for this skill has enabled me to express my truths and my emotions in ways that I have never been able to do in words, and to celebrate the power of beauty in art to transform our collective experience of life into something on a higher plane.

Throughout my childhood, my father (Arthur Price) sculpted in traditional media which taught me how to conceive and execute artistic ideas in time and space.  In addition, my grandfather (Marius Barbeau) was an anthropologist who lived with all kinds of "objets de vertu" collected over his career, these objects constantly feeding my imagination.

My work contemplates happiness, the universal and transcendence in an unapologetically feminine celebration of the beauty of the human experience.
