Artist Statement
My early training in the figure was the
foundation for later work on a life sized scale; series of Goddesses and
Dancers. These pieces, done in a variety
of mediums, prepared me for the commissioned work I was called upon to design
and create for religious and secular organizations and individuals.
The variety in my use of materials expanded
as my needs for a medium to perform in a certain way evolved. Scale,
durability, viewer safety, pose and suitability for installation all played a
part in medium choice, which had a subsequent effect upon the finished work.
