Artist Statement
I am first and foremost a figurative artist and feel that depicting the
culture and history of Native Americans is a vehicle from which I am
able to
sculpt the beauty of the human form as well as the beauty of the human
condition that is common to all cultures.
I believe drawing is the foundation of representational art, and that
sculpture is simply drawing in three dimensions. My intent is to
capture the
emotion,dignity and personality of my subject in concert with sound
drawing,
design and technique and to make a personal connection with the viewer
