Here is just a small chunk of her story:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>In 1972, while a student at Pratt Institute, NY, Segal resolved to spend both her junior and senior years at the distinguished \u00c9cole Nationale Sup\u00e9rieure des Beaux-Arts (ENSB-A),\u00a0Paris, to study stone carving with teachers like Ren\u00e9 Collamarini with whom she later exhibited at the Mus\u00e9e Rodin. Segal then moved to Italy where she spent time over the next four years in both Pietrasanta and Carrara working at the Studio Sem, the Fonderia Luigi Tommasi and SGF Studio Scultura. She\u00a0returned to New York City in the late-70s knowing she could create whatever she chose in stone. America\u2019s evolving culture with its pop and fashion icons would prove a continuing source of inspiration.\u00a0 However, to this day, what Segal chooses to create is personal; her creations provide insight into her passions, struggles and quirky wit.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>And with a bio like <em>that<\/em>, I have to include a photo of Barbara in action:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thejealouscurator.com\/blog\/?attachment_id=30302\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-30302\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-30302\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thejealouscurator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/barbarasegal_WIP.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"584\" height=\"594\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thejealouscurator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/barbarasegal_WIP.jpg 584w, https:\/\/www.thejealouscurator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/barbarasegal_WIP-295x300.jpg 295w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 584px) 100vw, 584px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Whoa.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>STONE.
