Who is South African artist Wilma Cruise by Lillian Gray?

Wilma Cruise is a South African artist known for her life-size human and animal sculptures. Even though she is known for sculpture she is a multi-disciplinary artist. Large drawings or prints often accompany her sculpture exhibitions. A number of her ceramic sculptures have also been cast into bronze.

To understand Wilma Cruise’s art, we need to look at some critical influences on her art from her childhood. We must go back in time and ask, “What happened while Wilma Cruise was growing up?”

Come with me as we journey through her life and try to understand her art.
