Agnese Udinotti, a multi-talented, Greek-born artist, sculptor, printmaker and poet. Udinotti believes that the symbolic use of the human form in art is a powerful communication too. Udinotti's love affair with the human form began decades ago. Leaving her home in Greece as hardly more than a teenager, Udinotti always blazed her own trail, inspired by her love of art. This path led her to study at ASU (Arizona State University), where she earned her Master's Degree in 1963. In 2000, Udinotti realized that she wanted to preserve her international art treasures honoring the figure and collected over a lifetime — primarily to educate others about the important historical messages taught by artists through their portrayal of the human form. As a result, Udinotti researched the viability of erecting a non-profit museum dedicated to the celebration of figurative art. Personally funding the endeavor, she then set about designing, building, and later hand-selecting the Museum's permanent collection. Her efforts were finally unveiled to the public in November of 2007 at the Museum's grand opening event. Udinotti's spirit, vision and search for historical art honoring the human figure carries on today.
