Artist Statement

Reclaimed objects both man made and natural make up these wall hanging sculptures. The older pieces are shrine- like, the newer work tends toward figures - very odd figures. They are fairly emotional creatures - scary,scared,sad,saint like, confused sometimes even happy - just like us.The tiny works I consider to be "amulets" or lucky charms. Some people describe the pieces as "Folk Art".
