About

My name is Esther Manso

I am an award-winning and published figurative artist based in Central Florida. My artistic journey began with polymer clay, where I specialized in creating detailed and expressive figurative sculptures and miniatures. However, my creative path took a new direction when I discovered the beauty of soft pastels. This medium quickly became my favorite, especially for pet portraits and wildlife art. Soft pastels allow me to capture the vibrant, lifelike details that truly reflect the beauty and essence of animals. The transition from sculpting to pastel drawing has expanded my artistic expression, enabling me to bring a new level of realism and emotion to my work.
