Artist's Statement

My formative years were spent in Southeast Asia. These years provided me many experiences at an impressionable age. I witnessed many religious processions and festivals; visited Buddhist & Hindu temples filled with incense and statues. I now realize my exposure to these assorted cultures and religions at a young age are at the roots of my artistic vocabulary.

At age 18 I returned to the United States to attend college in Central Kentucky. During that time I chose to pursue sculpture. After working with several mediums I chose to focus on stone. It presents an immediate physical and mental challenge and offers an aura of timeless solidity and consistency.

My work is an integration of both my memory and imagination. I thrive on the physical activity of carving stone and I approach the carving process very intuitively, mentally envisioning the volume of each form and its contours as I begin to carve. Carving involves constant communication between the stone and myself. Although I may begin with a rough sketch, a definite process of action/reaction occurs as the piece develops.

Throughout my work I incorporate the female nude as an icon which represents the spiritual. Whether the piece is erotic or playful, I strive to acknowledge the beauty of its transfiguration and integrate forms which are simultaneously sensuous and raw. I create this work on an intimate scale in order to reveal these spiritual qualities which I have discovered exist across both Eastern and Western cultures.
