Homage to the Sacred Feminine plays an influential role in the creation of my work. The anthropomorphic figures explore the relationship of humanity and nature to current environmental issues such as global warming, resource depletion, overpopulation, and loss of habitat. Establishing a dialogue between man and animal will hopefully generate an understanding of the intrinsic nature of our Earth and what we as responsible citizens should do.
I have extended these messages to my students, fellow artists and my community through teaching workshops at my home, art centers and installing large scale sculpture in public spaces.
