I began my artistic career by working on paper and canvas using watercolor, acrylic, colored pencil and graphite. In 2000 I felt inspired to take a sculpting class and my work moved quickly in this new and exciting direction. The result of that inspiration has been that all of the work that I do now is sculptural. Always passionate about animals I wanted to show them respect I have always felt while simultaneously maintaining a sense of play and adventure. I soon discovered that plastilene clay to is the perfect medium to depict birds and mammals impressionistically and often with a touch of whimsy. My goal is to give the viewer a sense of movement that is frozen in time. Recently I have been embellishing some of the clay forms with beads and shells and they lend the bronze sculptures finished with this texture a lighthearted and unique quality. Approximately half of my current pieces are created using the clay for bronze medium.
