Spirit Vessel with Gold Markings Shellac and gold flake on hardened cartapesta Size of Piece: 52 x 15 The sculpture explores the imprint of time, history, and mind on the interaction of materials, as experienced in myth, spirit, and the body. For this piece I created an armature of a young woman and wrapped her like an ancient Egyptian deity in layers of paper soaked in hardening agents. When she dried, I pulled her spirit’s shell away from the armature, creating a hollow vessel that viewers can look into to see where her spirit had once lived. Inside there remains a sense of beautiful nothingness that has joined the larger mind that flows through time, consciousness , relationships, challenges and opportunities. The outer Vessel shell represents the memory of love having passed through it, and I adorned it with golden circles and a triangle, symbols of perfection, strength and wealth. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

Grasping for Air Acrylic on Fabric Size of Piece: 24 x 18 x 3 I enjoy working with fabric, especially the intimate qualities associated with clothing.

Sudden Breeze Bronze Size of Piece: 21 x 7 x 9 As I walked to my studio, inspiration struck me. A sudden gust of wind swept through me, enveloping me in its embrace. I closed my eyes, tilted my head back, and allowed the wind to fill me up. It touched every part of me. Once I reached my studio, I began working to capture that moment and feeling in my sculpture. When I look at this piece, I can still feel that sense of being taken over by nature and embracing it fully. The sculpture is about letting go and embracing the unexpected moments in life that come our way. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

Conversation Glazed Stoneware with overglaze Size of Piece: 14 x 12 Gesture is everything in figurative sculpture. The smallest details are important.

Chacun sa route, chacun son chemin. / Each their own road, each their own path. Steel & Aluminum Size of Piece: 26 x 13 x 1.5 This wall sculpture explores the different paths we take through life's journey. Using metal elements, I've created a visual dialogue between two contrasting approaches: a zigzagging line representing the winding, exploratory route and a direct line with a parallel ladder symbolizing straightforward progression. Two movable characters inhabit this symbolic landscape. One figure, creative in appearance yet structurally aligned, can only navigate the zigzag path. The other, hanging playfully by one arm in an adventurous pose, is restricted to the straight line and ladder. Though these characters travel differently—one meandering through creative exploration, the other taking direct risks—they ultimately move between the same points. This represents life's paradox: there is no single correct way to journey from beginning to end. Some of us zigzag through experiences, while others climb directly toward goals, yet we all progress through life in our authentic way. The title is borrowed from a well-known French reggae song by Tonton David. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between the artist and buyer after the purchase.

I Never Told Anyone Encaustic and Graphite on Carved Basswood Size of Piece: 65 x 60 x 60 My work has always been figurative and focuses on the negative impact of contemporary culture on women and girls' self-image and identity. I Never Told Anyone: is based on research and interviews with adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse. I carved these figures in wood from sketches I made from direct observation and from my imagination. Each piece refers directly to one individual narrative reiterating when the abuse started, I stenciled that age at the base of each piece, and distilled the titles down to that one word my subject kept repeating, I was so humiliated, I was so frightened, I am so ashamed, guilt, insult, injury, denial.

Wish (The Escape) Alabaster Size of Piece: 30 x 15 x 6 This life size torso is a self portrait, created during a tumultuous time in my life.

I had to hide this stone as I was working on it, to prevent losing it. The day came when I was free, like the birds made from my own hands.

Nautical III Oil & sculptural elements on canvas wrapped board Size of Piece: 40 x 50.5 These sculptural paintings are my own original style. I work with the paint and the construction at the same time, merging the two. Although this art could be listed as wall hung sculpture (relief) or as painting alone, neither description would be accurate. They are a combination of both disciplines which interact so completely that neither would be complete without the other. Unlike "assemblage" or "found object" sculpture these works are not 3D collages with elements highlighted by color. Instead through the use of many tints and tones of gray, the relief elements are subtly integrted with the painting. one flowing into the other.The colors themselves are controlled, yet full of variety, and held to a low intensity so as not to compete with the three dimensional elements Wood and string are used here to create a nautical atmosphere.

Akan Warrior I Inks, clay, wood, textile, yarns, found objects Size of Piece: 46 x 12 x 8 Akan Warrior is a sculptural embodiment of resilience, strength, and ancestral memory.
