Artist’s Statement
As a recent resident of Chattanooga, TN, living in St. Elmo, I find my work moving in a more organic direction. While both Minimalism and Pattern and Decoration are my main influences, more now than ever, nature is often a jumping off point to begin a sculpture. My studio space looks out, onto the trees and flowers of Lookout Mountain consequently, they are often inspiration for many pieces. My work is unique in its intricate irregular line formations, which create a spectacular sense of movement.

I’ve worked as a professional sculptor for ten years, creating and exhibiting in Fine Art galleries in New Orleans, New Jersey, Tennessee, New York, and now Evanston, Illinois. I was born and raised in New Orleans where my ancestors have lived since the early 1800’s. My work is in private collections from the West coast to the East coast. My most recent sculpture has been placed in corporate collections in Amsterdam, Manhattan, Houston and New Orleans.

“Shovelization" Oxidized  steel. Can be purchased in a group or individually at $300 ea.
