Over the last 20 years of her sculpting career Roxanna Maria has mainly been been a self taught artist. She has taken workshops with reknown artists Lewis Goldstein, Jack Johnston and most recently Mark Dennis. She is inspired primarily by two of her favorite artists and aspires to have her work be as close to perfection as theirs. One artist is Alberto Vargas, who is well known for his realistic paintings of famous pin-up women in Playboy, and the Australian artist Ron Muick who works in creating realistic sculptures in silicone. She admires their outstanding work and their impeccable attention to detail. She feels that there are significant moments in everyone's life that deserve to be captured and she is passionate about capturing those moments through her art work. Done well, emotions, personalities and sentiments shine through created pieces.

While Roxanna appreciates every aspect of art, her specialties are character figures and individual portrait sculptures. She has enjoyed exploring the many realms of what the creative mind can offer. The range of her pieces vary from newborn babies to fantasy wizards. She never knows where the ideas come from as she sits down to sculpt and before she knows it she has a unique piece that has come to life! Her love for the creations she makes has given her great pleasures in her life and has even preserved some great memories. She considers it an honor and a pleasure to sculpt for you and create your fantasy or preserve that significant moment in your life.

Roxanna's work has been featured in national doll publications such as Doll Reader, Contemporary Doll Magazine and Doll Making. Roxanna Maria Sullivan is a member of The O.C. Polymer Clay Guild and the National Polymer Clay Guild.
