Artist's Statement

What does one say about their sculpture? It's something you love to do that's fun, personally meaningful, and very satisfying. Mainly, you hope the viewer feels some of the excitement and pleasure you had in creating the piece and that they appreciate it enough to want it themselves. In the case of a commissioning client, you want them to see in their sculpture the spirit, impression, or story they had envisioned.
