Artist's Statement
What is "ART" if it doesn't arouse strong emotion from the viewer?
I strive to express strength, grace, motion, rhythm, and beauty. Working in the mediums of both water- and oil-based clays, I look for topics that will allow me to express symmetry, balance, rhythm, and motion, as well as beauty. My subject matter comes from my own imagination. I have always been an animal lover, and I have always been fascinated with the grace, beauty, and strength of true athletes.
My favorite tool is a kitchen paring knife - because almost all that needs to be expressed in the clay can be expressed with slices and angles made by that knife.
Taking an idea from my imagination through the foundry process is so very much like having a child. That is what art is about. Creating life where there was only clay before. There is beauty and symmetry everywhere out there, waiting to be captured and celebrated.
