Artist Statement:
I believe in the positive
potential of humankind and
art’s role in making the world
a better place. And I am
committed to do important
things with this gift -- to
make significant contributions
where I can.
I also enjoy creating works
that just flow from my head.
I believe that my progressing
deafness plays a profound
role; in what I see and how I
communicate ideas thru this
art.
Right now my time is split
between these head-works and
the exhilarating world of
commissions.
Perhaps this is all in
preparation for my "Hanging
Heart," a modern day Trevi
Fountain -- and a medal that
inspires a great deed.
