Serena Bates About
Whether it be sculpting or painting, her work is primarily done in the field or with a live subject, where she feels her works are the result of \"experience and keen observation\". Bates feels you can\'t breathe true life into your creations unless you have gotten to know your subjects on a personal and more intimate level. She is well known in the southern New England community, and her work can be found in many private collections throughout the United States.
