Sculpture

I am captivated by natural and human forms, and the way that a sculpture can speak to us. While my figures convey relationships and  emotions, they attempt to serve as a voice for those without a voice. I strive to transform the ordinary into something extraordinary. I work with many different materials, but the things which attract me to each, and the final sculptures are all closely related. My art is the process of taking the attributes of a natural or found object, distill and present the various aspects of each, revealing an unexpected beauty in a previously unseen way. Like the subject matter of my work, the elements such as stone, wood, fiber, or clay, have a beauty of their own before I ever begin to manipulate it. I am compelled to find the single form that captures the essential meaning of a story. While the creative process is deeply personal, I discover myself and my relationship to the world with each piece I create.
