"Traffic Jam" (Original Clay), 20" x 33" x 22"

I truly believe that art is a part of me, of the way I look at the world. Without a doubt, sculpture is my medium. When I pick up a piece of clay I feel a deep, direct connection. My challenge is to successfully combine technical accuracy, a strong message, and a powerful design into my sculptures.
