As a sculptor and object maker, my work is born of the visual impact I find in juxtaposing the symmetry of man-made forms of function with asymmetry in the natural world. A great deal of my work is anchored in my training as a goldsmith; this is where I developed my true sensibilities of three dimensionality and my skills in carving and metal fabrication. I am devoted to my chosen mediums of metal and stone; they are rich with tradition, have unsurpassed versatility, and speak to the commitment and longevity of my work.
