| Archetypes...Myths...Rituals. In my sculptures, both figurative and abstract, I employ my fascination with these concepts to evoke an emotional state within the viewer.
In my figurative work, my goal is to capture the ever changing state of the human condition through subtle changes in facial expression and body language. My abstract sculptures are divided into two series, “Artifacts From a Former World” and “Landscapes”. The sculptures in both series are made of abstract forms covered with rich, textural surfaces. This combination results in a complex organic piece that evokes a sense of ancient artifacts, of ritualistic objects from an unknown culture, or of imagined landscapes. However, be it figurative or abstract, my ultimate goal is to have the viewer feel both an emotional and a sensory familiarity with the work. I believe this feeling of déjà vu arises from both the collective unconscious and a mystical center we all share. |

- Ariadne
- Description: "Ariadne" is a full figured, pregnant woman posing with one hand supporting her swelling belly. While her body and pose suggest a powerful woman who is in control of herself and her destiny, her face registers a beatific look of contentment.

- Silence
- Description: “Silence” depicts a somber man whose mouth is covered by a strip of cloth. He represents the ways in which all of us are silenced in one form or another...by our own personalities, by society, by the desired perceptions of others, and on, and on...
- Marion
- Description: “Marion” is an attractive young woman. However, a fatal flaw mars her perfect beauty and exposes her dark interior.
- Burning Sun
- Description: In its death throe, a sun burns out over a decaying world. Yet, a small green organic form gives hope for renewal and continued survival. The main body of the sculpture is of highly polished cement coated with an acid stain and waxed to a deep luster. Bronze leaf, copper, and wood constitute the other materials used.
- Seed Pod
- Description: The gleaming "seeds" emerging from a decaying pod give hope for a renewal of life and creativity in a world gone awry.
- Totemic Object
- Description: A once powerful and erect totem now lies fallen against a rock outcropping. What has once been worshipped and provided strength to a former world is now a meaningless relic to the observer. It is made of acid stained cement, copper, natural stone, and wood.
- Emerging Island
- Description: "Emerging Island" is from a series of abstract sculptural landscapes on which I've been working for the past five years. A divided and barren island emerges from a sea that is itself in decay. The main body of the piece is composed of cement that has been acid stained and covered with bronze leaf. Other materials consist of copper, wood, and a Japanese maple branch.
- Split Rock
- Description: A dark and ominous appearing rock is split by a tree to revel it's golden interior. The piece is composed of a Japanese maple branch and natural stone covered in sections with bronze leaf
- Windswept
- Description: Battered by a forceful wind coming from a golden sea, two trees loom over a small hillock. The trees are Japanese maple, the island and base are made of acid-stained cement, and the landscape is Mariposa slate with a section covered in bronze leaf.
