- Challis_Walker abstract "Challis Walker Calandria (1912 - 2000) was an American sculptor and painter.Calandria was educated in New York City. At the age of twelve she had her first instruction in sculpture (outside of school) which caused her decision to enter art schools after high school graduation. She attended the Art Students League of New York for two years studying sculpture with William Zorach. Following this, she went to Paris in 1933 where she studied at the Académie Colarossi with Marcel Gimond, sculptor. Her Paris studies stretched into a six-year period during which time one of her sculptures was shown at the Salon des Tuileries, and a book for children which she wrote and illustrated was accepted (translated into French) by a Paris publisher. It was also published by Coward McCann in New York City.She met her future husband in Paris, Juan José Calandria—a highly esteemed sculptor—who was later appointed Uruguayan Consul to New Orleans where they settled in 1941.
