Figure & Forme was born from a deeply personal place. As a mother, I found myself longing to preserve pregnancy in a way that felt tangible and lasting. I wanted more than a memory. I wanted something I could hold. I wanted to be able to feel the curve of my body, the shape of that season, and the physical presence of a moment that passes so quickly. I was searching for something more enduring, something sculptural, something real.

When I could not find any companies in the Chicago area offering this experience, I felt compelled to create it myself. Figure & Forme exists to honor the female body in every season and every shape, treating each form with the reverence it deserves. Each piece is created to be held, displayed, and treasured. It is an intimate, heirloom expression of the body as art.

What began as a desire to preserve pregnancy has grown into a deeper celebration of the female form at every stage of life. From motherhood to transformation, from strength to softness, from change to becoming, Figure & Forme was created to honor it all. Every curve, every shift, and every imperfectly beautiful season is worthy of being seen, held, and remembered. Celebrate every curve, honor every change… your body, as art.
