Life
From 1963 to 1966, Youngblood attended Virginia Commonwealth University.[1]
Youngblood's most well-known sculptural work comprises heads and torsos of people and animals made in low-fired clay, combined with found objects (sticks, teeth, hair). Some of the heads are explicitly representational portraits (such as her 1982 study of the art dealer Richard Bellamy).
In 1999, her work appeared at McKee Gallery.[2]
Youngblood has given Jung and Buddhism as important theoretical influence, and has said that she is interested in "correlating worldwide religions and esoteric practices with the individual psyche."
