My ancient stone dwellings stand strong and dignified despite the passage of time. They show up weathered yet enduring, imperfect and steadfast.
My work is for those (like myself) who have spent years trying to be the "perfect" wife...mother...person...you fill in the blank... How to act, how to look, we carry everyone else's needs on our shoulders. We compromise, keep the peace, avoid ruffling feathers….
But there's this thing called 'age,' and with it comes wisdom. It's not easy to be the change, but it's worth trying. My sculptures are a reminder of the strength and beauty of our imperfection, and provide a safe space to linger for those times we forget.
