About

For years now, Lori Higgins had envisioned moving her creative endeavors to the three dimensional & started mastering the art of sculpting. Always loving a challenge, she chose as her first real piece, to take her dream of bringing her painting “Spirit of Aloha” to life. She began sculpting the flowers and leaves that would adorn the piece at her Maui studio in late 2007, & a year later, she moved to Oregon (temporarily) to work on sculpting the body at an established bronze foundry. In January 2010, after years of intense sculpting, Lori signed the final clay original and the process of molding it for bronzing began. This book commemorates, in her own words, the involvement of the lost wax process & what it has taken to debut her Sculpture - The Spirit of Aloha.
