There was never any time in my life when I did not make sculpture.  For more than forty years I have used the patterns and rhythms I see in the everyday world around me as inspiration for my sculptures.  My sculptures don’t involve “issues,” other than how different shapes and forms can come together to form a single composition.   I have always worked very hard and had fun in the process.
