I saw this fearless girl statue, and loved it at first sight. Then I come to find out that it was done by a Lewes based artist, and I love it even more.
Sculptor Kristen Visbal, the artist behind the Fearless Girl statue now facing off against Wall Street’s bull in New York City, may be the most famous sculptor in the world right now. And she calls Lewes’ Nassau Valley Vineyards home.
In a March 8 press release, Visbal said the work features a daring and confident young girl, cast in bronze. The young girl says soft and sensitive equals strong and capable, she said.
“All women should relate to this work,” she wrote. “It should inspire the young to dream as if anything were possible and simultaneously encourage today’s working woman to hold her ground, no matter what challenges may come barreling down the pike.”
