2016 Walking Sculpture Tour
The Birdwatchers
Artist Statement:
Whether an animal or a commemorative figurative work, I cull the composition that will capture the “presence” of the figure in the moment. These feelings and compositional qualities must blend seamlessly together to depict an action filled work with beautiful lines and silhouette. My goal is not a photographic rendering, but rather an active, fluid sculpture, which presents the moment, allowing the art to tell its own story as it might.
