This is a centuries old artform brought to this
country by Jacob Spiels, grandfather of Katherine
Marie Stubergh, mentor to Henry
Alvarez. Henry has
carried on her techniques and secrets in creating lifelike portraits
in wax since 1968.
In 1977, Henry Alvarez founded Alvarez Wax
Models and has produced wax models for museums throughout the United
States as well as Canada, England, France, Denmark, Korea, and Japan.
Wax is translucent and is the closest one
can get to the look of living flesh, as well as being one of the most
long-lasting and natural materials.
We can produce any likeness for you
using paintings, photographs, or actual lifecasts as reference.
