sculpture

Sculpture is the perfect mix of my technical and artistic abilities. My sculptures range from small curvacious pieces made from wood or stone to large works of yard art using still standing tress. More than most media, these materials are accessible and omnipresent.  Their beauty is clear and understood.

Natural material has its own agenda and aesthetic.  Many times I’ve begun a project one way and been forced to change course because the medium simply demanded to be displayed so as to show off its unusual grain or intense color. I approach my work somewhere between determination and reverence, as an artist with a vision and power tools, but as an observer who sees the material as partner in the process.

Some of my most satisfying sculptures are tree-based and designed to turn a yard into an art gallery showcasing your magnificent tree - dead or alive. There are many options that do not harm live trees. I also work with milled wood and alabaster in order to create smaller and/or indoor pieces.

Please view my photos below for more information about the final product you can expect from commissioning a one-of-a-kind sculpture.
