Biography, Experience, Current Projects and Fee Schedules
Alice Manzi began sculpting religious themes at a young age. Her Brooklyn College Bachelor's Degree included coursework in marble carving with Pratt Institute in Pietrasanta, Italy. Ms. Manzi's apprenticeship was in Pietrasanta with Fr. Thomas McGlynn, O.P., the sculptor responsible for the Statue of Our Lady at Fatima and numerous pieces of sacred art around the world. Ms. Manzi held the position of Graduate Assistant in the sculpture studios at New York University and received a Master's Degree in Sculpture in 1976.

Alice has a complete portfolio of large figurative work which demonstrates a high level of technical ability with a variety of sculpture mediums. Her mastery of human anatomy and ability to evoke personality in a figure make Alice's work resonate with the religious community.

The commission process is separated into two phases: design and fabrication. The Design Phase cluminates in a presentation of ideas in the form of drawings and/or maquettes (models). When a suitable design is chosen a Fabrication Contract is entered into which stipulates design, materials, scale, cost, and estimated completion date. This contract is normally broken up into three payments: deposit upon signing, progress payment when the original is complete, and final upon delivery. Since each project is unique, it is difficult to give average prices.

A full portfolio is available in paper or CD form. Brochures are also available. Please email us at Manzisculpture@aol.com, or contact us on the Web at www.manzisculpture.com
