ABOUT
ARTIST STATEMENT
My art responds to the personal and the universal human experience.
I strive to transform these experiences into sculptures, both abstract and figurative, to capture motion and to express deep emotions.
I utilize a range of mediums such as clay, resin, bronze, natural and exotic wood, and I continue to explore and try out additional mediums and techniques.
