Artist's Statement
An artist is an interpreter of inspirations which, in my case, become tangible sculptural images. As a bronze sculptor my primary focus is on the creation of beautiful three dimensional forms using the lost wax method of casting. I utilize animal, human or other interesting shapes as a vehicle to convey the core of the subject matter and evoke the viewer’s emotions.
My style is realistic, interpretive, sometimes exaggerating or simplifying to achieve my artistic goals. I strive to create and communicate through sculpture the essence of beautiful forms and the majesty of living creatures. Through my art, I intend to communicate mankind’s nobility and our connectedness to all life.
I utilize sculptural elements, incorporating planes, interesting negative spaces, attention to silhouette, textural contrasts and fluidity of motion, while at the same time capturing the subject matter in gesture, form and spirit. Many of my sculptures contain “S” curves and triangles as part of their design motif. Using elements of sculpture passed down through the ages, I create and speak from my inner voice.
