Sketch

Artist Statement:

My hands are drawn to sculpt people – heads, figures, and symbolically, all of humanity. The expression in a brow or bowed head is incredibly powerful. A bit of clay placed here or there on a well-sculpted piece speaks volumes. Creating and exploring faces brings me closer to understanding myself and others in a fundamental, nonverbal way.
