Floral forms enable me to explore and exhibit the limitations and perceptions of marble sculpture.  I strive to achieve warmth, vibrancy and vulnerability, characteristics not commonly associated with stone.  With these sculptures, I created hallowed unions between stone, metal and wood. These sacred elements, combined and joined in various ways, lures the viewer into the center of each sculpture, where true beauty resides.
