ARTIST'S STATEMENT

My work celebrates the lifestyles of those who love the sea. I am an avid witness to the ever-changing ocean, which holds in its depths a peaceful, healing energy. As a sculptor, I record my response to this living, powerful force, which shapes our lives as surely as it shapes the shoreline. My sculptures capture that fragile moment when the worlds above and below the waves come together, and the peace we seek suffuses our hectic lives. During these troubled times, we clearly see what we want our lives to embrace, now and always. The quest for more of those moments makes us dream of the islands, go on exotic vacations, and collect artwork that reflects these happy places.
