"In Celebration of the Human Form . . . I begin with simple clay and sculpt the torso using the coil building technique. The simplicity of the torso captures the essence of the soul. Using multimedia materials
In Celebration of Mother Nature . . . I ìdressî the naked form of the torso to represent nature using feathers, branches, leaves, and gemstones. I use semi-precious and rare stones, formed over millions of years. Ancient science tells us that each stone has a symbolic meaning and our eyes detect the unique beauty of what lies within each.
My sculptures reflect my total life experience. Born and raised in South Africa, studied in the Netherlands, I now reside in Florida. These experiences have exposed me to cultural diversity and the beauty of nature. My work is the expression of the human form and the embodiment of beauty entwined with the powers of Nature."
