I chose the medium of toothpicks in which to express myself with after a myriad of life changing events that occured within my personal and professional life within a short period of time over 30-years ago.

No models, diagrams, or photos are ever referred to or utilized in any of my sculptures.

The image, thought, or idea that comes into my heart and mind is simply acted on by what I sculpt.

What has helped me get over the greatest loss in my personal life is this simple saying that came to me shortly after loosing that which meant the world to me and that is simply this

When we forgive others and ourselves we live,
When we dont, we cease living
