This sculpture was created in 2003 at the modeling session in Alpine, Utah. The model, Liz, was a swimmer with an athletic build but more rounded like swimmers tend to be. She fell into this pose easily. I altered my sculpture compared to the model by turning the hips more. I did not articulate the face, hands or feet because I wanted to emphasize the beauty of the torso and give it more of a landscape feel.
Year completed: 2003

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.
