Some art students might find it hard to come up with an inspiration. But not Amanda Dalla Villa - she found hers in a Richmond art legend. Dalla Villa, 21, a senior sculpture major, works alongside well-known Richmond sculptor Paul DiPasquale. DiPasquale is known for creating large-scale sculptures, such as the Indian at the Richmond Braves stadium, the Arthur Ashe statue on Monument Avenue and the Neptune at Virginia Beach.
