Olga Perry is Internationally recognized artist with the highest awards in sculpture, painting and photography. The single mom in her 40's, Olga immigrated from Russia to US with two bags and about 50 English words in her vocabulary. Nevertheless, she made an amazing jump in creating her life long dream -- to be an artist. Olga got it all. Her art speaks for itself --- powerful fusion of brilliant intellect, logic of the scientist, unique vision, worldwide experience, unification of cultures and philosophies and Renaissance skills. Enormously prolific, Olga created a few thousand pieces of art in short period of time and in all possible media. And yet --- she just started..... More information www.OlgaPerry.com Harry Weisburd, Berkeley, CA, figurative sculptor and former professor of art at the University of Connecticut and Westfield State College at Westfield, Massachusetts: ” I would describe Olga Perry's sculpture style as Romantic and Beautiful. Unfortunately in today's art world the words Romantic and especially the word Beautiful are considered not pc-- politically correct. I think her work is amazing with so little formal training, perhaps an year. Olga’s portrait heads have a distinct Russian “ look" to them with an Elegance of the tilt of the head and movement of a hand, striking design and linear movement of hair, and appealing Sexiness of her female nudes.” Awards: 2003- first prize on International Contemporary Juried Art competition "Metamorphosis".
