Patty Fernandez

Artist Statement

“Show or Die”
“You are only as good as your last sale.”
“Somebody Give Me A Wall”

I have always told stories with my art. I have always “animated” my figurative art so that my sculpture looked as if it was about to start moving. The move into New Media was not that great a leap for me to make. Technology interceded. I still consider myself a ceramist. I still tell stories with clay. They just move now.
