88 years old (Born on June 27, 1936)
Happy Birthday, Joel Rudnick! Another year older and still sculpting masterpieces—both clothed landscapes and unclothed figures alike. Your talent for capturing America's beauty on canvas is matched only by your fearless approach to nude sculptures; clearly, you've mastered the art of baring it all (artistically speaking, of course).From winning prestigious honors like the Allied Artists of America's Lindsay Morris Award to snagging the National Sculpture Society's Mrs. Louis Bennett Prize—you've certainly carved out quite a legacy. May this birthday bring you as much joy as your artwork brings us laughter and awe—keep painting boldly and sculpting bravely!
