Artist Statement

The majority of my sculptures are made from recycled materials and found objects.  As a sculptor, it is satisfying to give new life to an old or obsolete object.  Each object has a history and once had an important purpose.  Who did it belong to?  Where has it been?  I believe that these questions make the entire experience more intimate.   

I am always on the lookout for something interesting and unique. The object has to grab my attention. This central piece becomes my inspiration, and the rest of the work revolves around it. Some of my work reflects my serious side. Most of the time, my sense of humor takes center stage. Ultimately, my goal is to create something that I haven’t seen before.
