From a young age, a strong work ethic was instilled in me. Not from chastisement or reward, but from a compelling example of knowing what should be done and doing it, whatever the cost.

When thinking about my artwork and a unifying statement that transmits throughout, I came to the conclusion that the more words I used, the less I actually said. My drive is not to write but to communicate visually in three dimensions. However, during my search for words, one appeared over and over: WORK. This small four-letter word expresses a great deal about my sculpture and my process. This world and I have a great deal in common.
