Artist Statement

My sculpture is a direct response from the interior life. I continually seek the invisible subtleties in nature and try to translate them into visible form. I am inspired by the many dwellings where beauty lives and the senses are heightened by its unexpected forms.
The inner “essence” of each sculpture conveys a sense of grace and honesty which is expressed outwardly in form, balance, and movement. It is in this visual language that the conversation begins.
