About

For me sculpting is a journey - the recording of a story. The stone
sculptures seem to have a life of their own and know exactly what they
want to be. I just have to carve, listen to what they have to say and try not
to take too much off. In return they show me what I need to see, tell me
what I need to hear.
Relationships and connections are important to me. I love to bring
dissimilar materials together to create thought-provoking and intriguing
mixed media sculptures. They celebrate their differences while
encouraging us to do the same.
With the figurative wall sculptures, I like to see something as extraordinary
as the human body transformed into a hand carved sculpture that tells its
own unique tale.
Paintings are more about what I see and feel at the time. They teach me
how to look for what I want to find and more importantly, that what we
want to find is in us.
Art is my teacher, healer and friend.
