Sculptor & Stonemason
Artist's Statement
Art is a way for me to communicate and express myself. The process of conveying concepts through stone is deeply involved and complex. It is an ever-changing and evolving art form subject to iterative thoughts and consideration. The primal and lasting quality of stone, along with the intense emotional involvement of working it, gives me great incentive to pursue this medium.Artistic inspiration flows from interactions with people and our natural environment. My sculptures are mirrored moments from such encounters and impressions from the inevitable run-ins with life. The basis for my conceptual work is that of intuition and contemplation which ultimately finds its way into a tangible form.
This process consists of studies involving drawing and clay work. It is with these methods that I develop the aesthetic qualities that can engage the viewer to consider the sculpture's concealed potential or simply appreciate the physical beauty.
