Artist's Statement
My love affair with stone started at age 14 with the gift of a small piece of pink alabaster. I learned early to think in three dimensions, which continues to help me see the sculpture in the stone before I start carving. The ability to visualize fully-formed figures allows me the freedom to carve directly into the stone with limited use of clay models. My favorite subject is the human form, which provides unlimited possibilities.
Carving is my meditation. It is a time to focus solely on the figure emerging from the stone and to love the feel, smell and sound of the human form coming to life.
There is no hidden meaning to my sculptures; the human form has no need to be abstruse.
