About the Artist
Born in Honolulu and raised in Arlington, VA, I grew up a few miles south of Washington, DC. For the last 20 years, I have lived and worked in the Norfolk/Virginia Beach area. My work is exhibited and collected in the US and abroad. Through the years, I have also taught sculpture to preschool through university level students, taught yoga, sold real estate, and worked as a construction company marketing director.
Artist's Statement
Exploring the qualities of form and material, my goal is to present a visual balance of elements. Such balance occurs so prevalently in the natural world that it has become ingrained in our subconscious and reflective of our identity. Art and nature are processes that memorialize who we are and what we experience. The art that I attempt to create, expresses visually what cannot be explicitly said.

Stephane Mallarme: “To name an object, is to deprive the public of three-quarters of its pleasure. The identity of objects should be revealed gradually…To suggest—that should be the poet’s dream.”[1]
