The inspiration for the designs applied to these steel fabrication sculptures comes from two sources.

First, the fact that three dimensional forms and shapes surround us all the time. Second, is a love for the tradition of mask making from almost all cultures around the world. By embracing these ideas and channeling them through my process, I create art.

I am attracted to the idea of recognition, empowerment, and reincarnation of what is under appreciated, left behind, common, bent, broken, and simple. I adopt things and put them together to create new life.

The abstract sculptures reflect the world around us and remind us that if we are open, anything can be transformed. The faces reflect us, tapping into a tradition of freedom to interpret through simplification, elaboration, and expansion, and can bring forth emotions such as whimsy, bewilderment, joy, intimidation, fear, or contentedness, love, et al.
