in Somersworth NH. Her prize

Shaune McCarthy ceramic figure
sculptures represent the enigma of
the human spirit. She is interested
in depicting the internal power each
of us has inside of us to do
something, some undetermined thing.
Our ability to act whether we choose
to or not, for better or for worse,
is part of what makes us human. Her
sculptures visually depict the
potential of decision-making, the
fearlessness to move or bafflement
at the need to take action.
McCarthy sculptures usually stand
alone, they are individuals and each
are different. “I want people to
look at these sculptures and
recognize a piece of themselves,
some human characteristic, emotion,
or dilemma.” Shaune McCarthy.
