WelcomeThe core of my body of work has most recently been devoted to exploring and reflecting upon both the evolution of our natural world and our relationship to constant changes. Even though the sculptural expression of harmoniously uniting kiln-cast glass with Raku glazed ceramics is still in its infancy, I have been working with new techniques that are patiently dovetailed to merge with old. As the WITH THE FLOW series expanded, it also began to reflect an autobiographical undercurrent and the results have flowed into a collection of undulating oceanic flora, capturing the movement of the sea. Each sculpture, in the end, has transcended my own artistic vision and has taken on an energetic vibration that is uniquely all its own. |

I feel most successful when creatively connected to this "kindred"
world which lies just out of sight but not out of mind; a spiritual connection
that comes to life through my art-making. It's through this focus that pieces
emerge which speak to our humanity, which prompts our hearts to smile, and
also reminds us to think with more compassion. Gentle to the eyes and graceful
in shape and color, I feel great joy drawing attention to harmony found in life
... imperfections and all.
