All the work has been inspired by nature so organic shapes and textures dominate. The expression can be representational or abstract but a natural sense of stance or movement is always a part of the work. There is usually a water connection in the work whether in ocean subject matter, reef life or tidal pools, or a focus on the geology of natural freshwater springs. Even my landform sculptures hint at or explore the way water has shaped the forms. Textures play a large role in the aesthetic dynamics of my work. I hope viewers want to touch the work and feel the excitement of the tactile contrasts. My sculptures are the result of a melding of an intensely full life, a passion for water-related experiences, a respect for the intrinsic qualities of the materials of copper, bronze, and glass, and a need for visual aesthetic order.
