My figurative body of work offers a compelling view of dreamlike and fragmented animal imagery, while my outdoor sculptures are comprised of large scale stainless steel representational and abstract pieces with nature-based themes. My work is influenced greatly by animal, botanical and natural forces such as wind, currents, and rays of light. I find these nature based themes visually seductive and loaded with history, diversity, lore and symbolism. In addition, the fleeting quality and constant flux of seasonal changes create an intriguing dialogue when the subjects are preserved in the permanence of metal. The mirror polish of the stainless is highly interactive in that the colors reflected are constantly changing, and viewers investigating the work become part of the piece as their reflections change and vary while passing the work. Clouds, sky, time of day, seasonal changes, and faces are driving forces in the experience.
