My primary subject is powerful, wild animals. It is the exquisite contrast of each figure’s intimidating physical force confronted with its capacity for gentleness and grace that binds them to us in a common dance between life and death.

It is the experiences shared with animals in countless hours of close observation that stirs my creative impulse. And, while my varied experiences of contact with animals is extensive, it is the ever growing sense of relatedness that is key to every point of contact and the thing I hope most to convey.
