Artist Statement

My work centers around the well-being of the human condition and its dependency on the interrelationships between the individual, the family, the community, and the universal environment in which we exist. I draw on my own life experiences to strengthen our understanding of one another and to encourage positive interactions.

My initial training in traditional sculpture methods has allowed me to explore and develop my own style of self-expression using a variety of materials. Over the past two decades, I've cultivated my passion for sculpture, starting under the guidance of Betsy Kramer, a respected classical sculptor. In 2003, I relocated to London, where I dedicated myself full-time to sculpture. I earned a four year Postgraduate Diploma in Fine Arts from the Art Academy in Southwark, London. 

My work has been exhibited internationally, and in 2011 I returned to New Zealand.
