Artist Statement
“Sculpting comes naturally to me. It’s not always easy or pressure-free, but I love the way the final sculpture plays with light and shadow. What the viewer sees may vary, depending on direction or time of day. I like that. I prefer the additive process over any other. The spontaneity of the moment, and the opportunity to make changes as the piece takes shape, allows a certain freedom. Since most of my work is figurative and representational, I try to communicate an emotion through the figure’s facial expression and body language. Good art should speak to the heart.”
