I have spent much of my adult life working as an Aerospace Engineer. As that career sunsets, I am happily surrendering to my creative impulse to express myself through figurative realistic sculpture in both bronze and ceramic. I started my sculpting career by focusing on Western Art. However, I quickly discovered that I did not want to limit my creative impulses to a single genre. So, I reexamined who I am and what I wanted to say through my art. Archaeology, history, sociology, anthropology… basically the sciences that describe human development and what makes us who we are, fascinate me. I enjoy capturing the spirit and strength of native people throughout history, especially women. The more I learn about ancient civilizations, the more I believe that people have not changed as much as we think, despite our technological advances. We still pursue happiness, security and fulfillment above all else.
