All art is deeply intertwined with the life-source.

My pieces express every woman's deep-seated strengths; a quest for freedom and the powerful energy to pursue the basic truths of life.

I enjoy sculpting in clay, plaster and stone. There is a difference and nearly magical essence in each medium.

The finished piece, the final product, may seem to be the goal. But it isn't.

The joy of sculpture is in the creation. The joy of seeing the sculpture becomes truth. Something alive and intuitively right springs laboriously from the ill formed mass of the medium.

Finally, the artist has uncovered its essential but unseen beauty. She has not created it. She has revealed it.

To do this is not a matter of talent or training. It is something quite different;

It is simply a privilege.
