Creations from man made objects discarded as refuse and reinterpreted to form objects found in nature are the inspirations for my art. The simple spoon forms the body of a rainbow trout; a discarded children's toy becomes the foundation for a moose; oil cans transform into armadillos. Building on that the reclaimed objects are then transformed from their mechanized human intentions into organic figures found in nature.

What's New?

Now that the holidays are past and us here in the North are in the middle of the long dark months of winter I have been busy, busy in the Studio.
I can't tell you just how many sets of batteries I have been through in my heated socks!
I have also been busy planning out the year - penciling in show dates on the calendar - working out schedules and sending out entries/applications. Hopefully, soon I will be able to announce a slew of new festival and exhibition dates. So, lets keep our fingers crossed!


I recently completed my newest “Fish” sculpture - this one is near and dear to me as it has been on the bench for quite some time while I worked out and collected the parts to get all the details just right.
I am also honored to have been selected as the recipient of the Mickie Workman Scholarship for the Arts Business Institute winter workshop during the Buyers Market Show in Philadelphia, PA in Mid-February.  I am very excited to attend the workshop and feel that it will serve as an incredible asset through the knowledge gained in furthering my art career. Again, I can not express my thanks enough to the Arts Business Institute for having been selected for this honor.  
For all my artist friends I will be sure to take good notes!
