                In my art, familiar visual iconography serves as a foundation on which my imagination can build.  My sculptures incorporate suns, human heads and figures, hearts, and flowers.  Each "icon" is interpreted and has abstract or fantastic forms wrapped into it and in this way, embraces  surrealism.  My aim is to present the viewer with an alternative format to consider an object and to provide a means of developing an emotional connection to an object normally taken for granted or narrowly experienced in everyday life. I have a strong interest in how consumerism affects the natural environment, so I frequently combine organic and industrial based forms such as machinery gears and sprockets, seaweed, tree branches, disposable water bottles, chains and other discarded or found objects.  In my completed work, I would like to simultaneously reveal beauty, whimsy, mystery, humor and fragility. 
                My sculpture can be a mirror of ideas and thoughts present in our society and simultaneously a window into my soul.  These creations provide a forum to address my emotional, spiritual, and intellectual questions.  I manifest ideas from my subconscious, and there are times when I do not know the whole meaning of the completed artwork.  As a result of the creative process, I hope to learn about society and myself while evoking enjoyment and contemplation for the viewer.
