Seabrook Island, SC
I found my passion for sculpture while waiting for a teaching job in California. I began taking Adult Education classes in welding and wood sculpture. Suddenly a light shined within me and I found my calling.
For several years, I studied with individual sculptors in California and upon moving to the East coast was mentored by Carol Bacon, a disciple of Noguchi. Marble and stone became my primary mediums but I also love wood.
My primary interest is in the human figure either in abstract or expressionistic forms. The soft curves and circular movements of my pieces lend themselves to tactile as well as visual enjoyment.
I’ve shown in galleries on both the West and East coasts, have been accepted into juried shows in Pennsylvania at Notre Dame as well as Historic Yellow Springs 1986-91), and latest at the City Gallery Piccolo Spoleto and MOJA 2021 shows in Charleston, SC.
Even after five decades, creating sculpture brings me a joyous sense of accomplishment and well-being.
