I see us all as beings who interact with one another in twos or threes or in a crowd, yet we are essentially alone. In my work, I focus on the figure and try to convey intellectual and emotional states of being through subtle gestures: a turn of the head, a hand outstretched, or a body leaning in.

There is always a story in my mind when I am sculpting a figure.

My figures have some environmental context. In the early days, these were complex rooms that morphed into simple geometric shapes. Those shapes are now being softened and becoming shapes that are holding the figures.

Glass has been my chosen medium primarily because of its amazing seductive color. Metal, including bronze, has always been a strong component of my work, sometimes in a supporting role, but occasionally as a principal element. I am particularly drawn to the solidity of a bronze figure nestled in the glass.
