ARTIST
STATEMENT
My
interest in art started as a young child. My
5th grade art teacher recognized a
burgeoning talent and encouraged me in
that direction. I remain dedicated to my art
today.
My main enjoyment is sculpture. I’m taken with the human form and mind.
The
many complexities that exist between people such
as compassion and intimacy make them subjects for
my three dimensional figures.
I
also enjoy painting (mix media), portraits, and
musical compositions. Musicians have many arrangements that produce different sounds
with different types of instruments (string
and brass) and I enjoy portraying these
visually in a two-dimensional form.
In this world of violence, cruelty and abuse, I visualize the positive side of relationships and emphasize this connection that unites us as human beings.
