Sculpture to me is a way of questioning and expressing my inner self. This is the driving force behind my work. I believe that art is a journey within ourselves and sometimes you get the answer (a beautiful work of art) and sometimes it's just a journey.
I would like people to view my work and learn and experience as much about life as I do.
