My work is an attempt to acknowledge and explore the puzzling mysteries of the human experience. I seek to create images that resonate within the viewer, evoking universal truths that are at the core of our lives. My impressionistic figurative sculpture intends to represent the subjective nature of life's most dramatic turning points. The use of durable bronze and stone implies, for me, the lasting universality of these experiences, which transcend any one lifetime or even any particular generation.

I also strive to create art that is functional. Making art a pragmatic part of one's daily life elevates the art by involving the viewer in a more vital way. The "viewer" becomes more than a viewer, and the art becomes more than decoration.
