Protecting, 2025
Wire mesh and wire 8" x 8" x 10"
The massive changes we each have to cope with on a daily basis are overwhelming. Protecting reveals that tender center we each have and how important it is to find our center and shield it from outside forces.

Vortex, 2025
Wire and fiber 10.5" x 12" x 8"
Vortex represents the type of energy swirl we can get caught up in, a part of life. As one who has a chronic pain companion at times, I work to calm my swirling mind and emotions to a more calm and stable place.

Crushed, 2025
Wire, fiber Each cube (9) 2.75" x 2.75" x 2.75"
Crushed takes a classic form and distorts it by crushing the perfection of the dimensions. Perfection is overrated and at times in our lives the beauty of the imperfect form continues to shine brightly.

Looking for Light, 2024
Wire, fiber Varied dimensions
These sculptures are part of a series about moving out of darkness into a less heavy space. The movement in the sculptures has an opening and movement that speaks of a desire for growth. The heaviness of the black sculpture tries to keep the others from flying away, but it is unsuccessful.

Inflammatory, 2024
Wire, fiber 13" x 10" x 11"
Inflammatory displays how pain can feel sharp and hot in our bodies. When we have homeostasis, the cells and muscles feel smooth and aligned - energy flows easily and the green color represents harmony and growth in the body. The sharp contrast of the red, spiky and angular elements is creeping into the harmonious part of the sculpture.

Trapped Pain, 2023
Wire, found object Each cube 4" x 4" x 4"
Trapped pain illustrates the frustration and anxiety about chronic pain. This is the beginning of a series referencing the relationship between chronic pain and new scientific findings in neuroscience that reveal chronic pain resides in overactive neural pathways instead of in the body.

Wheel of Wonder, 2023
Wire, fiber 7" x 7" x 7"
Wheel of Wonder has a changeable nature depending on which angle it is viewed from. In this time of strong disagreement, it is hoped that looking at a situation from another angle can provide the viewer with a new vantage point to consider.
