About the Artist
Darina Walker
I am passionate about creating sculptures of large women.
I believe the world needs to see how gorgeous and sexy plus size women really are.
I am thrilled to be able to create positive body images to counteract the pervasive intolerance out there.
I want to help heal the wounds created by the culture's obsession with skinniness as the beauty ideal.
With my art, with positive imagery, I hope to elevate the status of large women and counteract negative stereotypes.
There is no question about the beauty, sensuality, and sexiness of large women.
I grew up with a large mother and sister and
witnessed firsthand their confidence and exuberance.
They both passed in the last year. This is my tribute to them.
I honor them through these images and in so doing keep their memory alive.
Since I feel their presence flow through me as I create them,
sculpting is my way to stay connected to them.
I hope my work can bring you joy as well.
I make them because:
Representation matters.
Sexy is not a size.
Beauty cannot be weighed.
