While my artwork is not always suggestive of the human figure, it invariably has anthropomorphic aspiration, and many of my sculptural ideas have originated in organic forms given a human quality. My studio is located in the foothills of the Manzano Mountains above Albuquerque, which have proven to be a treasure trove for found objects and rock formations. I continually search for objects in their natural environment, and am initially attracted to something by a shape visualized within it. A shape within a shape is extracted from both its surroundings and its context, and is transformed by drawings and three dimensional imaging into a form with new meaning.

I utilize stone or hardwood to carve the long flowing curves with strong edges and negative space that often characterize my work. The finished stone or wood sculpture may serve as prototypes for bronze casting. I also have a continuing interest in geometric form, and my geometric sketches (aided by some early training in engineering drawing) occasionally find three dimensional expression.
