STATEMENT
For years I have worked with the same subject matter which is highly symbolic to me. I love the shapes of people,
and their hands and faces in particular, chalices, stones, draped cloth, bones, hubcaps (halos), gold and light.
I have slowly moved from painting pictures of these objects to making molds of some of them and attaching
copies directly to the surface I am working on, making it relief sculpture, but still with areas of painted imagery.
Recently I have also begun to incorporate light directly into my work using small LED lights and also to use
backpainted acrylic sheet to achieve contrast of surface.
Although I use a great variety of materials, my goal is always to create a unified and powerful image.
