Biography

A formal graphic designer, Maurice Schlesinger has been sculpting intensively for the past 5 years.

He has just completed an Honours degree at NAS in sculpture and is a member of the Sculptors Society.

He has been a successful exhibitor, and one of his most recent sculptures has been acquired for the

While I enjoy the discipline of realism, I am also drawn to experimentation and abstraction.

I am on a journey of discovery, and I plan to take pleasure from every step along the way.
