My love of clay has been with me my entire life. Even as a small child, I always carried a piece of clay in my hand. Over the years the little lumps of clay became ducks, bears, figures of the saints... my imagination, combined with love and encouragement from my family kept my fingers working as my love of sculpture slowly grew. My studio is one of my favorite places on earth; it's not fancy, but a place that speaks to me of comfort... when I walk inside, it smells of warm clay, incense, and wax... I have treasured every second and am blessed beyond measure to be working in such a special place. My sculptural work centers around two different themes; my liturgical (spiritual) work, and my Public Art and “whimsical” work. My goal for both is to sculpt pieces that are joyful, touchable, interactive, and explorable, for both children and adults alike. Travel with me as we explore the interconnectedness of both the spiritual and the child-like. My sculptures range from tabletop to monumental. All the pieces you see here can be enlarged. I would be happy to speak with you regarding an idea for a specific sculpture. I invite you to have a cup of coffee or tea, sit back and relax as the clay warms and the work beckons.
