artists statement

I’m a North American sculptor and oil painter currently focused on creating figurative studio art.  ­For over 30 years, my primary focus has been raising my 10 children. As an artist, this humbling maternal journey has been a source of deep and multi-faceted inspiration, motivating a great deal of reflection which informs much of my work.  

In sculpture, I work in wax, plaster, clay, ceramic, resin and/or bronze, with 2D work in oil or encaustic on canvas or board. Subject matter is generally abstracted from figurative reference, exploring states of exaggerated human emotion or stages of personal growth.  My current body of work speaks to the overcoming of personal struggle and the powerful state of euphoric freedom found in that  victory.
