...I
am inspired by the natural world, and its creatures, both wild and
domestic, and people, fascinate me. The attempt to express the movement,
spirit, and gesture are done in clay or stone, and the lost wax
bronze process yields a sculpture that can be placed indoors or
out. Sizes range from small to monumental, and I take joy in working
with collectors on pieces for their homes, corporate settings, or
universities.
...My
focus on art began as a child, and by age 11, paintings and sculptures
were being shown in the student shows at the Society of the Four
Arts in Palm Beach. The exposure to the work there and at the Norton
excited me, and a lifelong treasure hunt ensued. Extensive travels
here and abroad, study through college and graduate school, and
apprenticeship contributed to a wealth of beauty and inspiration.
...Living
on the edge of the ocean and the lagoon, with their wonderful stories
and creatures, gives me material for my current body of work.
...The
work is exhibited in museums and competitions here and abroad. All
in all, a wonderful adventure.
