With a focus on surface finish, texture and contrast I create contemporary sculpture that becomes real and holds meaning.
IN A WORLD OF CONSTANT STIMULATION I SEEK TO CREATE A SINGLE, BALANCED FORM.
Upcoming Exhibition
November 14 2019 – March 8 2020 A Common Reality, Art Gallery of Grande Prairie
Maquette’s from the past decade. Loading the kiln to do a Christmas Day bisque-fire. The full size wood sculptures end up in someone else’s home but these babies are mine! #maquette#claymaquette#bisquefire#claysculpture
Studio clean up revealed this self-portrait from November 17, 1993. Crazy! Contour line drawing, I loved it then and love it now! 22”x30” Ink on rag paper. #selfportrait#womeninarts#femalesculptor#portrait#contourlinedrawing#inkonpaper
Swipe to see the totem sculpture and my Mum checking things out! ‘Polarization Bias’ net: sisal rope, waxed twine, polymer clay; totem: torched and stained wood with waxed twine #acommonreality#abstractsculpture#sculptureinstallation#woodsculpture#sisalropesculpture#lightingsculpture
My exhibition is now open to the public at the Art Gallery of Grande Prairie! Here is a part of the installation portion of ‘A Common Reality’ complete with my first ever video in the background. Sculpture: ‘Wrestler Greco-Roman: Masculine’ painted wood and metal. #artinstallation#sculpture#contemporarysculpture#woodsculpture#paintedwood#artgalleryofgrandeprairie#czechhedgehog
What does a ten minute contour line drawing from a live model and nature’s colour palette offer? A way for this sculptor to explore landscape painting. The image transfer process I use is akin to lost wax casting, the original drawing is gone forever and only the painting remains. 24”x18”

Symbolism, subtle and not-so-subtle. Handmade rope dolls complete with breasts and polymer pink roses are my commentary on what makes a woman ‘valuable’. Once assembled 160 of these will form two nets, my take on how women lift each other up but sadly can also hold each other back. #abstractart#contemporaryart#conceptualart#ropesculpture#abstractfigurativesculpture#artinprogress
