Bio and Resume
Artist Statement:
I create sculptures with a sensory story. I am influenced by sound and touch; both are fundamental in my artistic vocabulary. I am a sculptor who grows into an installation artist very easily, my work expands and builds an environment, it invites exploration. I am an alchemist, everything I do from cooking to artwork has a little of this and a little of that, I combine mediums, textures and symbolism. I work in stippled patinas, aged coffee, red earth, and lake sand. I cast bronze, weld, carve stone, scavenge and stare at flowers.
My work finds me; I work at listening and saying yes.
