Artist Statement:
Sculpture offers me an
opportunity to impose my
aesthetic sense on the world
around me, to give spontaneous
expression to my feelings and
ideas in a palpable
three-dimensional form. The
human figure is the natural
embodiment for such feelings
and ideas as they spring from
the human heart and mind, and
my figurative works seek to
incarnate this. I interpret
the reality I observe through
the prism of what is pleasing
to me. This is especially true
for me when executing
portraits, because portraits
must be more than a mere
reflection of a person's
external appearance. To
succeed, they must reveal the
subject's underlying character
and psyche, both of which
have together molded the
individual's recognizable
features and personality.
