Artist Statement

I strive to coax the motion and fluidity of nature from the stone. When beginning a piece, the stone tells me what to carve. As I sculpt, I am revealing the nature of material.

I employ direct sculpture methods. My sculpting tools are traditional: hammer, chisel and rasp, giving me an immediacy to the stone. I carve organic, abstract, and figurative pieces, primarily of alabaster and limestone.
