About

From an early age I was drawn to the human body which I felt then had the potential of being the vehicle for me to express all that I was feeling, thinking and understanding. The human figure has always been the one and only subject matter for my work. Much of my focus has been on sculptures and installations that investigate the relationship between people. Figures exist in all different sizes, each portraying different emotional states and ways of being; whether they are together interacting in a space or apart from one another, questioning the essence of their role in society.

My heritage has exposed me to classical ancient Greek sculpture. I was always fascinated at seeing how strength was captivated in the marble form, engaging my eyes through this beauty and signaling to my brain at the same time to connect with my heart. What a journey!! I strive to do just that, connect the brain with the heart, simply by using a language which is visual. My aim is through the creation of lines and forms to speak of balance, of harmony, of beauty, of togetherness and isolation, engagement through realistic depictions of the body.
