Artist Statement

I work primarily in bronze and ceramic, often incorporating materials like found driftwood and chiseled marble to ground my sculptures in natural elements. I use human figures and animal forms, but it’s the tension within the moment that I strive to capture—the split second where a story holds its breath.

I’m drawn to the alternate side of classic stories, where triumph feels complicated and release can look a lot like loss. My sculptures capture characters mid-struggle, mid-fall, or mid-thought, leaving space for the viewer to imagine how this came to be, and what will come next.

While some pieces draw from mythology or folk story, others are born from daydreams or quiet reflection. Whether it’s a defiant hare, a lowly snake, or a portrait confronting its own defects, I aim for honesty over perfection. And I’m not here for the resolutions, I’m here for the questions.
