Kira

Art Brokerage: Kira American Sculptor: Kira was educated in Southern California, where she received her Masters in Social Work. Working within the fields of Human and Social Services until September of 2006, she then chose to embark upon this journey as one of today's most celebrated bronze sculptors and contemporary artists on a full time basis. As a first generation descendant of Armenian immigrants, Kira was raised with an acute consciousness and compassion for the human condition. Coupled with her 15 year career as a Social Worker, her insight and inspiration as an artist have come from the ever-present witnessing of this plight of the human spirit. The situations visited, and the lives she has effected change and growth within, have nurtured within her an inconsolable compassion for the unsolicited emotion of the human condition. Kira attributes a great deal of her unyielding determination as a figurative bronze sculptor to her greatest mentor and teacher, Richard MacDonald, whose encouragement has given her the courage necessary to pursue this passion without hesitation. Also the Founder and Director of the non-profit organization Clay Kids for Health, she holds workshops for hospitalized, abused, and neglected youth within Orange County and other parts of the world. Through the carefully constructed therapeutic landscape of her program, she sculpts with children of all ages in order to bring joy, relief, and healing into their challenging day to day lives.
