I am a self-taught artist. I started to paint and make assemblage art in 2006. Since 2008, direct carving has been my ordinary habit. Malvina Hoffman, a past NAWA member, inspired me to become a sculptor with her words about how sculpture must be experienced by the artist through her hands, mind, and heart. My work reflects my earlier interest as a Buddhist scholar. It also shows my growing concern for the environment. In our global effort to recycle and reuse unwanted materials, I use discarded stone as well as other salvaged items. In parallel to my work as a female sculptor, I am a writer. Since December 2018, I have researched and written posts on the subject at the intersection of science and philosophy of the relationship between the Universe and Consciousness. The Universe reveals itself by expressing itself and knows itself through every bit of experience, and so does my work, I believe, as a direct carver, in my daily confrontation with the marble.
