“I try to make art in the spirit of ‘considering everything’. This includes the condition of the human project, and of our Earth, and  my own mental/emotional state. I hope these sculptures help others consider their own ‘everythings’.

I’ve been actively making and exhibiting art since 1975. Much of  my work over the last 25 years has involved making and leasing outdoor sculptures for yearlong public art exhibitions in cities from Florida to New York and Georgia to Maryland. I often had 10 or more sculptures in circulation. Becoming legally blind in 2022 dramatically changed my practice. I am not able to make sculptures the way I used to, or to drive them to exhibitions. Finding local and regional venues has made it possible for these sculptures to continue being seen by the public.”
