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.
