About the Artist
I was told by many people that I would "grow out of" my love of horses. Well, they were wrong. Horses continue to be a never-ending source of inspiration for me and form a large part of my work.
My creative expression has always been driven by a deep passion for horses, and yet it took many years for me to realize that making art was an important part of my life.
My education in art history has given me a strong theoretical and conceptual foundation, but my sculpting technique is almost entirely self-taught. It has taken me many years to develop my unique style.
I sculpt with ceramic, and also air dry clay, and paper, often mixing mediums to take advantage of each media's strengths. My quiet, yet gestural sculptures are richly layered with contrasting features and textures, often with hidden elements for the curious observer to discover. I like to push the boundaries of traditional materials and concepts to develop art that both challenges and delights the viewer.
