Juried Status: Professional Virginia Artisan

Media: Metal:  Sculptural,

Artist Statement:

As an artist/ metalsmith, I specialize in sculptural metalwork using inspired compositions of dissected imagery from plant life, feminine symbolism and the human form. I combine quality craftsmanship with design translations that emerge from the metal through line, form, repeated elements, texture and color to create hand-hammered metal in-relief that captures a fragment of the whole. I experiment with the plasticity of the metal and explore how recognizable elements can evolve abstractly into a finished piece. The viewer may then envision the familiar or the unexpected. My sculptural metalwork includes wall pieces, jewelry, architectural and sculptural objects. My work has been in exhibited in galleries and museums throughout the eastern United States and I am the founder of the Southwestern Virginia Metal Arts Guild.
