Statement

My inspiration and appreciation of hand sculptured pieces, was modelled to me by my grandma, Alie J Beck, a painter and sculptor artist. I was fortunate to watch her create some of her pieces as a child and I am even more fortunate to be learning from her in this day. At over 90 years of age, Alie is still actively creating hand sculptured clay models of her Australian Native Animals and Birds. It is a testament to her; staying true to her beginning passion of preservation.

My future endeavours are to continue with my form of expression working with the human boundaries of portraits, eyes and hands. Within these features, I hope to express personal stories and transcend a depth of human experience.
