Murez was one of five students selected to display their works in the program that Ward-Brown oversees at the art school. Murez's work was a giant glass bead necklace that graced University City's city hall. Murez said Ward-Brown not only helps with the creative aspect but also the practical side. Ward-Brown sits on committees that review public art proposals. I try to get them prepared for going into the world and presenting their work in a professional way.
Many professional sculptors make a good living through public art commissions.
She's there from the beginning of the proposals through to the crunch time. Ward-Brown knows the creative process can be difficult at times. You just have to have perseverance. It's really hard to trust yourself that you'll get through. It can be physically painful.
