ARTIST STATEMENT

“Sculpture is a representation of my life, expressing the beauty and hardships throughout. With each carved stone I challenge my artistry using traditional and contemporary sculpting techniques, earned through priceless hours in the studio. I admire the absolution of stone; the reductive process offers no remorse while pushing artistic boundaries. My designs are inspired by the symbiotic relationships of people and nature. I love the organic lines that my work emulates with the blending of geometric shapes that it explores. My hope is to inspire another creative, to ignite a passion of expression through a life of creativity.”
