Statement:
"Throughout my youth and into my mid-twenties I was a hobby model builder; assembling plastic model kits to balsa wood airplanes." "This experience developed adroitness with my hands and fingers." "This gift allows me to fabricate and leave my mark in clay."
My latest series of work focuses on creating "quick" & "profile" slab masks that are inspired by various eclectic sources.
"I like to people watch and in my observations I want to capture those facial expressions that we see and confront in our everyday life."
