SUMMARY
Sculptor Bridgette Mongeon is known for her sculptures of such entertainers as B. B. King Willie Nelson and Bill Monroe as well as her numerous portrait sculptures of children and pets.

Ms. Mongeon breathes life into clay and bronze. Believing a portrait is more than a likeness; it is capturing the spirit and essence of each person. Her work is sought out by collectors and cherished as family heirlooms.

Ms. Mongeon worked in the field of advertising for many years. Nearly twenty years ago, on a vacation, she began sculpting on the beach in the sand. From that moment it became a passion.

"While sculpting B. B. King I told him 'I'll have to touch you during the sitting.' Sometimes people have a difficulty when you touch their face. B. B. King replied "Darling, you are already touching me." I blushed, and looked at the calipers that were in my lap. He could see my confusion and slight embarrassment. 'It's your thigh,' Mr. King replied, 'your thigh is against my thigh and believe me the thrill is not gone.'"
