For me it is the emotions of a moment . I want to capture the breath of another that you can take in and feel their life . I see myself as a story teller . My figures serve as my storytellers in the world , telling stories of the sacred and the precious , capturing moments of our day , our vulnerabilities , and our strengths . They are the quiet echoes of life ’ s delicate balance , telling of the fragility in both life and their own form ; how far one can reach , which step may be too many .
