EDUCATION:
B.F.A. Studio Art, with emphasis in Sculpture, The College of Saint Rose, Albany, NY. 2006. Magna Cum Laude.

ARTIST STATEMENT:
My sculpture is rooted in formal elements of art - tension, balance, contrast, fluidity versus rigidity - translating everyday materials and found objects into a visual experience. The work always begins with the medium or material itself; blending in concepts of transformation, gesture, history, and nature. Using objects with a history allows for an instant life, a presence of time that is true and not constructed.
