Roxanne Swentzell : Extra-Ordinary People

In this generously illustrated art book, Santa Fe writer Gussie Fauntleroy explores with Roxanne the ideals and beliefs that underpin her work.

Her sculptures of human figures capture beauty that is unspoiled by glamour and enhanced by dignity, self-awareness, and humour.

Along with her Pueblo community, she cherishes memory -- the continuum of the ancestral past with present and future -- which nourishes the wisdom to look beyond contemporary pop-culture idolatry and choose a more fundamental humanity.

Her figures exalt the small, ordinary, everyday choices we make that define our integrity and enable us to become extra-ordinary.

Roxanne's many admirers love her art for its simplicity, humanity, humour and superior craftsmanship.

This book enables readers to enjoy Roxanne's artwork in the company of her quiet and observant spirit.
