SCULPTURE
Although sculpture has played a smaller role in my art making, I have found that experiences working in the round can helpful towards better depicting three dimensional forms on a flat plane. I enjoy the feel of natural materials; carving stone and wood is very satisfying! Some of my sculptural work also involves colorful painting, carpentry, fabric and a bit of whimsy.
