Artist Statement

Stone is my preferred medium, because it is a composite of all the elements: fire, water, earth and air, a totality of all matter. It is a complex and challenging material because of its frail nature under the chisel; yet stone possesses such permanency, strength and raw beauty.  It speaks to me in its rough form --of  the figure or abstract , calling to be released. 

 Sharing what I see, feel and imagine, I am inspired to create sculptured art that reflect an emotion or speak to the imagination. Through it I am artfully expressing beauty, honoring balance and cultivating love and appreciation of stone.
