I am a self taught stone sculptor facinated with the concept of looking at a stone and envisioning the life that lies beneath.  Most of my work is not preplanned but rather the piece reveals itself as I chisel away its facade.   Also a poet, I often become inspired by a word or phrase and endeavour to translate that idea into the piece.

I work with hand tools which takes a considerable amount of time longer, but to me the challenge of finding the hidden beauty is far more gratifying.

I prefer the abstract form of art because it allows not only myself, but others, a journey of imagination and perception.  What I see in a piece may not be what someone else envisions.  Art in general is a subjective form of visual stimulus and I enjoy hearing how others interpret my work.

I hope you like what you see when you tour my gallery and please feel free to comment.
