Artist statement

"Life begins with the body and ends with it. I work primarily with the nude figure. It is the standard, a repository for everything that humanity has experienced and is inextricably connected to the environment in which we live. It is our common link to the natural world. I began with the female figure because it is my personal point of reference, yet the male form has found its way into my works as an integral part of the natural equation. I spend a lot of time working through base emotions to attain a higher plane of consciousness. I illuminate that primal relationship by fusing the human form to the land and exposing the sacred in all things"
