I am drawn to the oddities in art, particularly in figurative sculpture. My work generally illustrates my attraction to peculiar or abstract forms with stoic facial expressions. Although I use varied materials, polymer clay in its many applications is a favorite because of its forgiving nature and unique properties.

There is a freedom in creating and as an artist I embrace the imperfections left in the wake of the creative process. Here the human element is most evident, and it can be as provocative as our artistic signature.
