Limestone 19 x 12 x 6" My sculpting is done as direct carving in stone -- meaning that the work is not meticulously preplanned, but proceeds as a collaboration between the artist and the medium. The stone evokes an initial image in the imagination of the artist who proceeds to chip away letting that image emerge. My style can be called realism, tinged with a touch of fantasy.

Stone 22 x 12 x 8"I always had a love for creating sculptures out of alabaster stone. I worked with direct carving, finding inspiration in the coloration and the flow of the stone itself. My sculptures reveal the female form conveying a sense of movement with the subtle details of flowing fabric. My visions emerge from the stone as I delve deeper into its core and only truly know what will appear with the final polishing. I enjoy sharing my art and insist that people touch ans caress them as they learn what can be created from within a stone.

Hand-formed porcelain 11 x 8 x 6" This work best exemplifies my ability to take porcelain to its thinnest walls and create objects that are intimate views of nature: Cove Tide, being a detail of the sea in motion.

Assemblage, mixed media 52 x 28 x 32"My artwork has evolved over time from colorful whimsical often sculptural pieces to something a bit darker. Telling a story is my goal and I have always been interested in irony and pointing out the foibles of humans going way back to my discovery of Medieval Flemish artists Hieronymus Bosch and Pieter Bruegal. I believe travel to other countries, particularly third world countries opened my eyes to conditions in the world. It took a number of years for my art and activism to merge, but my observation of nature and the nature of the human condition remain. My artwork now has a focus on environmental and climate issues. The process has become a cathartic experience for me and hopefully gives the viewer a different perspective.

Marble 26 x 13 x 23"I work on the stone directly. Memories feed my inspiration. Those of past and present studies and travels around the world. Direct carving means letting the stone guide you. It is an act of faith that aims to bring balance to my mind and body as I look forward to satisfying my insatiable curiosity. The Universe, I see, reveals itself by expressing itself and knows itself through every bit of experience, and so is my work as a female sculptor, only limited in the process by the material circumstances I encounter: the quality, size, and veins of the marble.

Wood 36 x 36 x 9" Tree Totem/All That Is Left/Pollution Series is about the dark side of pollutions effects on the natural world, and if left unchecked, would leave our world unlivable. Created using gathered branches and twigs, compounds, and paint on a plywood base. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.

Formed and Welded Steel 61 x 36 x 19"I engage our human and environmental predicament at the meeting place between serendipity and intention; where the beauty of the sacred found is enriched by fabrication. My art responds to crises in order to be a force for healing – on both individual and community levels. What we pay attention to, and how that affects what we choose to keep or throw away, be they materials, ideas, people, or specifics of the natural environment, can change the stories we tell and the potentials we allow. Materials picked up in the forest and desert, old things, everyday things – long used, or used and discarded – possess a resonance of memory and time; they are rich with meaning, nostalgia and reference. I make use of these references, enhancing, enlarging, and redefining their meanings through combining the unexpected. This process allows me to see how we might deflect a disheartening and destructive trajectory and generate different possibilities for our story.

Bronze on Greek Marble 24.5 x 20.5 x 15.5"This work is prompted by the clean and efficient movement of the completely developed physique of an Olympic speed skater. It seeks to capture the smooth flowing, seemingly effortless, rhythmic motion which is the essence of the sport. Even the shape of the “ice” base suggests the forward powerful thrust.

Resin and Steel 49 x 16 x 6"My work is mainly figurative or semi-figurative. I use positions and body lines in my sculptures to share my emotions and my understandings about life. Steel is a very interesting material, I like bending and rounding rods using my strength only (no heat, no hammer !). Let your eyes follow the lines of this positive spiral, and feel what part of your journey relates to this. The figurative character suspended gives you a key to relate. Concentration like an internal introspection before jumping in projects, social life, new steps, this is up to you. But definitely my work intend to highlight the fact that we should concentrate on ourself before engaging with the world.

Mixed media, painted cloth, found objects on wood 72 x 24 x 12"A nkisi is a container for spirits that was widely used by healers in the 19th and early part of the 20th century in the Congo area of Africa. Nkisi for Remembrance is a contemporary and vernacular interpretation of those ritualistic sculptures created by the healer of a village to protect clients who had been wronged. This nkisi draws from those African sculptures some of their aesthetic elements such as the use of reflective surfaces which reflect both the spirit world and the natural world.

Ceramic - stoneware 17 x 12 x 12"I loved Kipling's "The Jungle Book". It was an interesting challenge to include elements of the story in a round format as if you were on a trail watching the story unfold.

Clay, ink 10 x 6 x 4.5"For several years now, news media reports have been showing the destruction that is happening to our planet. Daily, there are more catastrophic meteorological events, as well as alarming statistics regarding glacial melting rates, wildfires, years-long droughts, disappearing habitats, and much more. Our safe food and water supply is imperiled on many fronts through pollution, poor infrastructure, war, politics, over consumption. The list is endless. So many humans have contributed to the crisis either actively or through ignorance, not knowing or caring about how their daily habits contribute to the current and immanent crisis. In choosing elements of nature as a theme, my sculptures reflect a concern regarding the effects of climate change. Trees expresses a possible future of desiccation, decay, and destruction. The future is colorless, hard, harsh, and lifeless. Hopefully, viewers of my work will have a visual reference that will influence individual and collective action against climate change.

Stoneware 30 x 20" I use pictorial imagery of various cultures, throughout history, by utilizing myths, religious and secular symbols in my work. The images are not literal, but symbolic expressions of prevailing ideas and thoughts about current issues in the world. I am recently exploring Global Warming and mass extinctions of flora and fauna across the world. Looking through the window of history and comparing current social issues with the past, I strive to provoke thoughtful consideration and awareness of diverse cultures in the world today.

Portuguese Marble Sculpture 52 x 18 x 12" Freyr is a large vertical sculptures where forms criss-cross and stack to give volume without extreme weight. It is more easily moved and would work well in an entryway or large interior. A huge drawback to working in stone is dealing with the weight and the movability of the pieces. This was designed with that in mind. The interior form of Freyr (a protective force) actually moves within the outer form.

Colorado Yule Marble 36 x 12 x 7" Stalwart is one of my many horses produced in the land of horses -- Lexington, Kentucky. My horses are nor literal interpretations of the horse, but suggest an abstract interpretation. Stalwart represents strength, stability and as I finished him, I felt as if I were actually grooming my horse for the next race. He became very personal.

Stoneware 23 x 17 x 5" The natural world and the life around us have always been the center of my work. They are the sparks that start the process.

Stoneware 14 x 11 x 6"This entry contains a union of opposites of organic and non-organic nature, growth and rigidity, biomorphic shape and rough texture, presence and absence of color, fragility and visual sturdiness of the material. Bounded, the inflexible, colorless, yet intricate organic form resembles a crouched figure from the classical era.

Clay 8 x 35 x 5" Clay as a medium allows a wealth of options as to color, texture, and form. In my sculpting journey I originally focused on figurative work, then became captivated by the natural forms of corals and their fragility because of climate change, and now occasionally morph a combination of these two forms. Exploring form and texture, and creating movement and strength, has led to a wide range of outcomes. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.
