After studying ballet and contemporary dance, Kathy Prest became increasingly interested in the movement of the human body, and began to understand more about anatomy. This inspired her to create sculptures using the enigmatic body of a dancer as it becomes simplified when caught in a moment of time, even when twisted in a complex shape it still expresses the joy in the spirit and beauty of the human figure.

Kathy training as a sculptor included traditional classical study of the nude model. With this essential knowledge in hand, the figure can then be confidently created and abstracted to an individual style.
