New Orleans, LA
Originally pursuing a career in Business and Economics, I earned my MBA and an MS in Economics. In 1999, while interviewing for work, I took a gig sculpting Mardi Gras props to pay the bills. Of course, from that moment I was determined to be a sculptor. I left my burgeoning career as an economist for the life of the artist, immersing myself in the discipline. I spent years studying anatomy texts and learning everything I could about the foundations of sculpture, from armature construction and mold making, to various sculpting mediums. Since then, I have taught figurative sculpture at the New Orleans Academy of Fine Arts and done a variety of private and public commissions. While continuing to pursue my individual work, today, I work as a sculptor in the movie industry. As the industry has grown here in Louisiana, I have had the good fortune of sculpting for television productions as well as several major motion pictures. I currently live and work in New Orleans, LA.
