Insouciance - a figural sculpture of a woman totally at ease, relaxed amid her bed clothes.

8 x 8 eyes - four crows (8 eyes) sitting on an old chair, inspecting four eggs (8 new eyes) in a nest constructed where the seat of the chair once was. This piece was made especially for a show at Gallery 80808 on 08/08/08.

Scottish Roots - the title of this piece comes from the weathered roots of an old dead heather plant that I found in Scotland. I combined several of the roots to make the "figure" mounted on this disk.

Turtles - this is a close-up view of a herd of turtles that I created for an installation. I made about 80 of the small turtles (about 3-4 in. long), each with unique heads, faces, and colored oxide finishes.

Considering the Alternatives - this thoughtful girl just emerged almost on her own from a block of clay. I could see her there and just carved away what I needed to to release her.

When the fat lady sings - one of a series of such figures. They are great fun to make, and people seem to like them. You just have to smile when you look at them. Each one is an individual with a unique face, gesture, and dress.

T in O Map - an abstract version of a Medieval form of world map known as a "T in O." I have done a series of these (I'm a former cartographer), and have others I can show you.

Moon and Starfish - combining the sky and sea in a different way.

Baba Yaga's Hut - just a fun piece based on the Russian fairy tale of a witch who lived in a hut built on chicken legs.

Polar Bear - an abstract representation of a beautiful animal whose future existence is in danger.

Hurricane Katrina - one of three large disks I created, inspired by Hurricane Katrina's strike in Louisiana and Mississippi. The textures and patterns represent various aspects of the water, wind, and land involved in the event.
