My work is very emotional in nature. Often I find creating a given piece very cathartic. I believe that with regard to my sculptures each person brings their own emotions to the interpretation of them based on the subject. I am often asked about the wings found on many of my pieces. It occurs to me that the sculpture that had the greatest impact on me in my childhood was the Winged Victory. I stood spellbound for many minutes as a ten year old at the bottom of her staircase in the Louvre. I have carried her image in my heart since. Wings are important to me. I feel like the human spirit implies wings. I feel as if all beings have wings, you just can't always see them.
