Micro Art, Mega Heart, an evening with Dr. Willard Wigan, MBE (Member of the Order of the British Empire), internationally renowned micro-sculptor, is planned Monday, March 30 to benefit Charity for Change.
A VIP reception with the artist will be at 4:30 p.m., with a general admission reception at 5 p.m., followed by presentation at 6 p.m. at Norris Center, 755 8th Ave. S., Naples.
Discover the magnificent heart behind the microscopic art of Wigan as he shares his personal story. Clients of his art, which is so small it often needs to be viewed with a microscope, include royalty and celebrities. He has two Guinness World records for the micro sculptures he creates on pinheads, eyelashes and within the eyes of needles.
Childhood torment, undiagnosed dyslexia and autism lead Wigan to create this tiny world. Sharing Charity for Change’s passion for teaching children the skills needed to promote emotional growth and overcome obstacles, Wigan has donated his guest appearance and a piece of his art to support Charity for Change’s mission.
