ART
abstract & figurative sculpture
Although I have worked in a large variety of art media,
sculpture excites me the most. Some sculptures can be
made rather quickly, but I prefer working on a piece for a
long period of time. The stone, wood or bronze process
in making a sculpture is very labor intensive and time
consuming. There is, however, no hurrying to complete
the piece before the paper or paint dries! My sculpture
incorporates the elegance I see in nature and the human
form. I interpret this elegance with flowing, clean and
uncomplicated lines. I enjoy humor and often include a bit
of whimsy in my work. I have used a variety of media to
this aim. I currently work mostly in clay and wax, using the
lost wax method to make my bronze and aluminum pieces.
Using this method, I have recently created two-piece forms.
I enjoy the ability to reshape the sculptural form by moving
these pieces.
