When I began stone carving in 2009, I discovered my passion. Stone is an incredible and exciting medium which drives me to discover its possibilities.
Originally inspired by sculptors Rodin, Modigliani and Brancusi to name a few, my interests in yoga, meditation and spirituality impress upon the visions and meanings in my work. I am currently experimenting with crystals and fossils embedded in my pieces.
