Artist Statement
After seeing my first figurative glass piece at the 2008 SOFAChicago show …I knew that was the direction I wanted to go with my art.
In combining my sculptures with glass, the luminosity that is achieved gives a “life like/ spiritual ” quality to my pieces, that I felt I couldn’t solely achieve with metal.
As an experienced sculptor, I am able to direct the mood, expression and narrative of a piece. In my vignettes, I strive to capture a thought or a moment in time. My subtle “stories” often include a warm inviting glow, yet hold a mystique that invites the viewer to take a closer look.
Because Art is a intimate connection between the viewer and the artwork, My intent is to deliver a piece with many interpretations. I want to leave the viewer with unanswered questions, so they may interpose their own connections, and ultimately, the piece becomes their own.
