Artist Statement

I have discovered that my artistic creativity has grown and evolved over the last few years.  Most journeys in life start down a path that changes with all the twists and turns and forks in the road.  Just like in life, my artistic path, which previously has expressed itself in original found object art, has changed direction to  sculpting clay to be cast into bronze sculptures.

 

My original found object art was my way of putting into physical expression real life events and my own personal experiences.  My visceral connection and reaction to these events were visualized as images in my mind which were then transformed into art.

 

I have recently discovered that I can express this same connection to life’s experiences through bronze sculptures. I am exploring a new depth of creativity through the sculpting process, from the initial marquette to the full size model sculpted with my hands and clay tools which is then cast in bronze at the art foundry.  It is an intimate process and I pour my soul into each piece.
