Kisses and Dreams was created from an actual model of a mother (Julie) and her newborn baby. The pose involved the baby sitting in her mother’s lap with the mother’s legs extended out in front of her. I noticed that during the break Julie would bring the baby up to her and kiss her. I liked this pose better than the one we were sculpting. I also brought the legs in to create a tighter form.

The human form is my subject and I use it to present my thoughts, my dreams. Themes that I like are anything that enobles man and messages that bring hope, or a renewal and an appreciation of life itself.
One of my dreams is to travel the world, sculpting all different cultures in their natural surroundings capturing the uniqueness and beauty of the human form.
I have created many sculptures and hope to create many, many more.
