Artists Statement

Women in their joy and agonies and women in their relationships with men and children have been the focus of my sculpture. My experiences and my dreams are transmitted to the medium in which I work. My tools are the words that I would use to shape ideas if I were a verbalist rather than a sculptor. My artistic satisfaction comes as much from the medium in which I’m working and from my tools as it does from the completed piece.

Hauteur is the embodiment of contemporary women- dignified, confident, defiant, and fully capable of functioning effectively in a world where, once, men dominated.

Out of Stock The very symbol of life giving that is woman.

Eternal Love The perfection, totality, and endless dimension that is real love is what I attempted in this piece. It is not simply through the design aesthetics of the piece that the theme is expressed.

Muscle Beach This is a light hearted jab at the male’s obsession with bodily ‘grandeur’. Recalling the old Charles Atlas ads promoting his body building program conjured up this depiction of Man ‘in the full’.

Après le Bain Degas’ painting of the young woman leaving her bath illustrates the ideal form of the young. I wanted to represent the grace and motion of this ideal type in wood.
