Sculptor/Painter inspired by primal archetypes. I create mobiles, free-standing sculptures and masks. My themes focus on transformation and connection.

Inspired by a 2-dimentsional metal wall piece I spotted in Tubac, AZ several years ago. The original was a trio of similarly sized figures very petroglyph-like in style. I took it a few steps further with the two additional figures becoming the hands of the central figure. Collectively, they are the extension of the sorcerer's thoughts.
