I explore form, flow, and space through with my natural stone sculptures.  Using my knowledge as an Architect and experience as an Underwater Photographer, I create unique objects incorporating shape, movement and texture working primarily in alabaster, limestone and marble.  First studying each piece of stone for it's potential, I then conceptualize an object in my mind and sketch it to refine the design. I particularly enjoy the complexity and planning required to successfully carve stone.  This form of three dimensional art is challenging as I start  with  an  object  and “take  away" rather  than  "add  to"  my creation.   My  favorite time in the carving process is the initial rough cutting of the stone when I must execute my vision without taking out too much and allowing for contingencies during the final shaping.
