THE ARTIST

image

My inspiration lies with the simple, unpretentious and often over-looked elements that surround my life.  A branch, whose surface has been patterned by insect activity, a broken pottery shard unearthed while gardening or the determined journey of a caterpillar as it works its way across my porch, can easily become my muse.

As I create my sculpture, I attempt to manipulate less and observe more, striving to find a path exposed by the material and not forced by my hand.  I take special delight in unexpected results and continually struggle to remain truthful to those discoveries.
