Artist statement
"Where the spirit works with the hands there is art"
My aim is to inspirie people to look more carefully at the world around them, to discover beauty at a glance and how we can live in harmony.Beacause animals embody majesty, freedom, passion and endurance, to me they have a great understanding of life without complicating it.My sculptures deal with life's challenges.
The abstract quality allows the viewer to discover their own story within.
My inspiration is life and the world me, the visible and the invisible. Expressing emotion, imagination, identity, life force and nature.
As I work the clay I get immersed in the energy of creation and we grow together.
My art is my life.
