About the Artist
DARI WALKER

After finishing her education in languages and working on her
masters, Dari Walker felt compelled by the passion of her life:
sculpture.

The ample forms that she creates with the medium of warm wax,
later translated into bronze and poured stone, are a tribute to ample
women everywhere.

Inspired by the unabashed voluptuousness of her mother and sister,
her statues express joy and sensuality with a touch of whimsy and delight.

Dari has been active in the Size Acceptance movement since 1996 with the creation of this series of statues, Isabella and Friends.

She received her training at California State University of Long Beach and studied in Europe.
