Artistic Statement

My work is first and foremost an expression of my love of the natural world. My sculpture comes from within me, and I have spent many years experimenting with different materials and studying the work of other sculptors.

My work primarily stems from direct observation of the subject I am portraying. The stylistic and constructional considerations are secondary to portraying the subject as honestly as I can. This is not to say that I strive to make my work realistic in the literal sense, instead I seek to capture and portray that sense of awareness that is present in all living things. I like to think that every one of my sculptures has some of the soul of the animal within it.
