Artist Statement

My interest is in elegant and modern form and volume. To finish, I frequently etch and use wax resist to add an organic finish to a refined shape in order to create tension between the perfect and imperfect. This tension is a metaphor for just about everything. Our search for perfection and the interest of imperfection.

Biography
