Artist's Statement
I want my work to reflect the beauty that we all share with our exchange of feelings and emotions. Making visible our inner passions and contemplations gives me an avenue to reach my audience. My work is easily accessible to the viewer. Art is a universal language, independent of words and explanation. When there is a visceral response, the viewer creates a personal interpretation of the art. When each person can relate to my sculpture, they become a valuable participant in the communication. The experience is complete when the viewer has an emotional response, bringing value and success to my work. Using inspiration from the elegance of the human form, I can honor the emotional aspects that speak to all of us.
As stated by a New York critic about her sculpture†, "Such unadorned expressions of human empathy are unique" and she creates "a mixture of pathos and dignity which honors our common condition." Her intention is to "express the psychological core of our human drama…restoring a sense of the monumental to the human figure." This connection to the viewer is her objective, and she considers her art a success when it evokes an emotional response.
