ARTIST STATEMENT
When I create, I attempt to emphasize both contemporary and classic design elements: line, space, texture and color reflected by intricate patinas. My abstracted human and animal figures are then cast in small limited editions. Bronze is the ideal medium to continue this melding of old and new with my signature style resulting in the expression of attitude or emotion.
