The Artist

Agnese Udinotti was the artist selected to create the physical award.

Together, she and Dr. Melmon forged the ideas of the award into physical representation the sculpture. It portrays man - his isolation intensified by disease - and the evolution of his integration with society through the intervention of the physician. Greek by birth, Udinotti now lives in Scottsdale, Arizona, where she creates metal sculpture and literature that is arresting, passionate and perceptive.

She holds degrees from Arizona State University and has received numerous awards at exhibitions throughout the United States and Europe.
