artist statement

The desire to create has been with me for as long as I can remember. It satisfies a kind of primal urge in me to get into the shop and build. The winding of the figures is a very intimate part of the process for me, it is where I try to translate the emotion or movement of the piece. 


My inspiration has always come from personal experience. I have worked in several aspects of the health care field over the last thirty years and have experienced turbulence and tenderness. My work represents these moments in time.
