I enjoy making sculptures that invite curiosity and inward contemplation. My current series, “Ecstatic Gates,” is a collection of 14+ wall sculptures. Each piece is a miniature shrine or chapel and expresses the ethereal duality of the eternal and finite.

These Shrines are my homage to duality and the inquiry to explore the inner realms. Inspired by the beauty of impermanence, each piece incorporates bones, natural fibers, and decaying wood grains. The suspended forms echo the delicate balances of nature while giving each piece a rhythmic movement to ascend into the guilded chambers.

My sculptures are influenced by the elegant lines of Asian architecture and the Japanese aesthetic of wabi-sabi. They honor imperfection, transience, the impermanence of natural world, and the beauty found in small and humble things.

I received my formal training as an illustrator from the Philadelphia College of Art. For more than 35 years I’ve been self-employed as an illustrator, graphic designer, sculptor, and painter. I now work from my studio in the historic Beaver Mill in North Adams, MA.
