By George!

Local artist and sculptor George Nista, a former fellow faculty member at The Art Institute of Philadelphia, approached me recently about creating a website to showcase his work. I have had an opportunity to learn so much about George's craft over the last several weeks. So much of what he does is rooted in a tradition of plain old fashioned hard work. When I asked George about the labor intensive nature of sculpting he admitted it is often a challenging part of the process but this is outweighed by the sense of discovery that still motivates him.
"Every block of stone has a statue inside it and it is the task of the sculptor to discover it." - Michelangelo

Stay tuned for the website in the coming weeks!
