Sculpture in Marble, Alabaster, Soapstone, and Bronze. Hand-cast Pewter jewelry.
Artist Statement
Sculpture is a passion. I have to 'let the sculpture out of the stone.' Seeing the shapes in the rock before I begin makes it easier to create them. Motion, smooth lines, and curves, all waiting for the human touch.
