Artistic Foundation
My artistic foundation is crafted in the hot and cold shops of glass studios. The industrial hardware, physical labor, and technical skills required to evolve design into product fit well into a working class experience. Add education; an imaginative inclination, a desire to cultivate a fine art lifestyle, then swirl the intense engagement of a glass shop with everything else and my formative aesthetics are established. Preoccupied with this creative substructure I will go on to expand and incorporate the importance of teaching, the practice of psychology to strengthen analytical thinking and earn a living. Poetry will always flow in and out of my production process.
The work that follows is of figurative sculpture that represent a novice artist who chose the human motif to express ideas, thinking; “An observer will respond or connect to the physical form subconsciously.” Inspiration is also derived from exploring the psych and the lean clarity of poetry.
