Artist's Statement:

My work today is the result of years of experimentation with various media, including stone, bronze, plaster, clay, and found objects. Inspired by nature, the ultimate designer - along with the work of great artists who have preceded me -- I strive to incorporate aspects of my life and interests into my pieces.

My goal is to create sculpture to represent our time, our culture, our disposable society, and our skewed mentalities. I do this by recycling everyday objects in unusual ways. The overabundance of our modern civilization provides me the opportunity to utilize superfluous items for other-than-intended purposes.

It is exciting to breathe new life into what many would consider useless or worthless trash. Giving new artistic value to a part by assigning it a different function is magical. I use humor, whimsy, and sexuality in my work to create enjoyment and stimulation, and to offer some levity in our sometimes all-too-serious world.
