Joseph with Mary on the donkey is one of those sculptures that gets better with age and I sometimes wonder how lucky I was to make it. I started out this piece not knowing what it would be other than a sculpture to do with Christmas. After pushing the clay around, I started seeing someone on something. As it became clearer I said, “That must be Mary on a donkey, and that other person over there must be Joseph!”

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.
