Artist Statement:
“My work is grounded in various meditational practices. Whether this mediation is experienced through walking, the stillness of silence or in the movement of carving marble, my focus is on the breath breathing the body. Each breath is a form unto itself and exists in its own moment. As I inhale and exhale, images appear in my mind of the breath entering and exiting the body. I work to give form to those ephemeral moments. In these practices I connect with the earth and reclaim my mind in search of balance, peace, and harmony.”
