ARTIST STATEMENT
Seeking graceful clarity of line, I search for the abstract sculptural form within the malleable material I shape. My work is a meditation and an exploration, as well as a manipulation. I probe for the most elegant simplicity, transforming the material manually into the organic and curvilinear forms that I love – my visual poems.
