Sweet, amazing dogs! They teach us to be human. Their unconditional love and unique spirit is what I capture and celebrate in my artwork. My mentor's teacher studied with August Rodin, and my work is bred from his classical respect for form and expression. My client's total happiness with their dog's portrait is everything to me, so they're involved from approval of the initial sketch to the sculpted forms along the way and finally, the painted piece. It is my joy to bring them joy.

For me, art is a dance between subject, spirit and material. Every subject has its mystery, its own music, and the deeper you listen, the more your work can resonate and touch others. I am always excited for the chance to make something inspiring, and with my interactive installations, my goal is to bring hope to others through the power of community. Whether you desire a commissioned portrait, a piece that is in my gallery, or a powerful event installation, I look forward to hearing from you.
