As an artist, I am empowered to redefine things in my own terms:
to create works of art symbolizing anything, anyone, or any emotion
I want to capture, express and share.
My goal is to take reality down the path of abstraction and recreate it
through a combination of mixed media: bronze, glass, or stone. I also
like to incorporate found or natural objects, creating new life from
discarded throwaways, which enrich a work with a sense of history,
making a connection to the past.
I am fascinated with materials, how they work, how they can be
manipulated and transformed by carving, welding, grinding, weaving,
melting and fusing, to name a few. I constantly am learning new technical
processes, both traditional ones and new technology, to translate my ideas
into works of art.
I view my work as a sort of gift or offering, intentionally
created to visually delight or somehow touch the viewer.
It is an invitation for people to pause, reflect and quietly enjoy a
memory or a feeling, bound in the world of form, color, and light.
