“Fragments of memories, words that resonate and stay within my mind, converge with observations of the physical world during the course of my creative process.  I enjoy the visual experience of diverse landscapes and the transitions of the seasons.  These inspirations all speak in different voices and in varying degrees of magnitude in my work.”

“I have had an interest in vessel forms for some time. The relationship of interior and exterior spaces is intriguing to me. I like to create sculptural forms that lead to a sense of discovery each time they are visually experienced.”

“During my career, metals including copper, brass, silver, steel, and bronze have been my chosen materials. Metalsmithing techniques including angle raising, forging, synclastic and anti-clastic forming are combined with various methods of fabrication. Surface colorations are achieved with the application of chemicals, dyes, and mica powders. ”

“The wall constructions are both a continuation and departure from my sculpture and vessels. While they rest upon the two-dimensional surface of a wall, they are three-dimensional in form.”
