 Edgar Hernandez will be one of the local artisans featured. Edgar is a contemporary expressionist sculptor from Chandler Arizona whose pieces are the products of a highly complex artistic process – manipulating colors, feelings and expressions that result in unique and original works of great visual power. “I distort reality to express my deepest feelings. You can see the beauty of the misery thru my characters,” said Edgar. Pictured is a close-up of one of three characters in the “Metamorphosis” piece by Mr. Hernandez.
