Debra Luccio
These images of the figure, the nude or the dancer, explore the inner life of each of us revealed in the flex and form of the body. The work explores the communication that flows from our bodies, uncensored and without design. Artwork of the human form reminds us of its beauty, honesty, and power to tell of the life we hold within.
