Art for me is a celebration of life. In my out door sculpture I work primarily with metal and paint. Metal allows me to express movement, élan, and exuberance. It can also be used to express the difficult times that often accompany the joys. This is one of the reasons I like steel so much. Because of its strength it can be very open and free, but it can also express rawness and angst, for example, through its rough cut edges. I also work with bronze, stainless steel and steel mesh . Each metal has a soul of its own which I try to respect. Bronze and stainless steel are more elegant, pristine and sedate. The steel mesh lends itself to marvelous color effects and Moiré patterns, and has a playful and diaphanous nature.

In my wall sculpture I use many more materials; wood, stone, glass, sea-glass, coral, brick, found objects as well as metals and paint. This variety allows me to express more fully the complexity of life.

Passages in going from one emotional or physical state to another have always fascinated me, and I try to reflect this with layered openings in my sculpture. I hope to express the excitement of new discoveries, as well as the difficulty of proceeding from one state to the next.

The conflict between order and disorder is equally interesting to me. A combination of the two generates excitement and tension. This often leads me to do pieces that have an ordered geometrical component coupled with imbalance, disarray or even chaos.

I like my sculpture to be strong and unique, but I do not want it to block out its background. A feeling of openness is extremely important to me. What is behind the sculpture needs to be brought into view to be part of the piece, more thoroughly integrating the art with its environment.
