Why scupt? 

My art begins with my hands. When I begin a sculpture and put my hands on the clay, it feels tactile and earthy, connecting me with a primitive sensation. The act of creating something out of nothing gives me a small taste of the miracle of God’s creation. This experience is hard to understand and even harder to explain, but it is the reason that I sculpt.

Why bronze? 

Bronze is my medium of choice because I can start with soft malleable clay and end with bronze, a metal that evokes thousands of years of tradition and a sense of permanence and classical beauty. 

What's your style? 

My style is loose and free.  For me, sculpting is a relaxing and liberating experience, not one of precision or detail. Proportions are not exact, but rather a stylized means of depicting emotion and personality. This roughness allows me to rise above the literal. My hope is that this approach stimulates a viewer’s contemplation and introspection.

What do you sculpt? 

My subject matter reflects what I spend time thinking about or doing. A large portion of my work focuses on artistic interpretations of my spiritual experiences. The rich imagery of the Bible provides limitless subject matter to explore as I ponder life’s major questions. On the other hand, I also sculpt to express my joy with the simple pleasures in life, such as relaxing over a glass of fine wine with a friend.

Why share your art? 

Art is an intimate personal experience both to the creator and the viewer. My passion flows into a creation with the hope that it brings meaning to others. It is sad for a sculpture to be secluded and ignored in a lost corner of a museum. My art is meant to be part of life, to lift one’s spirits, to make someone ask questions, to make you feel. The best art is shared with others. I invite you with open arms to enter into my creations and allow my art to be part of your life.
