For over 20 years I have specialized in discovering the beauty hidden within stone. I work with various materials such as alabaster, marble, jade and petrified wood. I seek to bring alive the latent personalities of these stones to create uniquely intricate sculptures.
One of the more common responses to my work is wonder at the optical illusion it creates. Some sculptures appear as if several pieces have been spliced together, when they are actually all one piece of stone.
My abstracts are not designed beforehand. For instance, “Intimacy” was a concept where I wanted to tie three loops together, so when I began creating it, it was a challenge and joy to watch the intertwining of the loops as they revealed themselves. My biggest inspiration for this work is the sensuality of the natural world.
