Few artists ever achieve what has been achieved by Juan Dell. Since 1968, when she began to sculpt, her name has become legend, whispered in art circles and mention on the pages of every major art publication whenever the best and brightest contemporary American artists are discussed.

Residing in New Mexico, Juan Dell is exploring new avenues in art, two dimensions rather than three. Some artists use preliminary sketches to develop a piece, but she finds a mental picture best. Juan Dell has the unique ability to capture an individual's physical characteristics and personality as well. "Part of the fun of my work," says the artist is researching my characterizations for historical accuracy.
