My sculptures are about playing with space.

Making sculpture for me is a process of choices and decisions – involving work, energy and materials: making plans, taking actions, dealing with gravity, moving structures around, making connections, attachments and changes – allowing for mistakes and enjoying surprises. I love to throw color into the mix.

My paintings are either abstracted landscapes of places that inspire me, or compositional studies.

There is always give-and-take between control and spontaneity, ideas and excitement – the goal is exhilaration for me and the viewer.
