“Unseen Process”
Alabaster Stone Sculpture
Carved in a warm brown Alabaster with pink undertones, “Unseen Process” juxtaposes the organic contours of the face with the hard shapes of gears. The sculpture embodies the hidden forces that shape both nature and invention—those quiet, unseen process that won’t stop invading my brain. The interplay of fluid lines and engineered forms invites viewers to reflect on the balance between intuition and design, chance and control. This sculpture is part of both my “Mechanical Head” and “Couch Carving” series.

“Mechanically Balanced Mind”
Carved from a richly veined Raspberry Alabaster, “Mechanically Balanced Mind” explores the interplay between human thought and constructed systems. Part of my “Couch Carving” and “Mechanical Head” series, the human form is encircled by gears and belts that suggest order and an unseen framework that guides our thoughts. The tilted posture and subtle expression evoke both vulnerability and resilience, balancing the human with the mechanical in a single form. The sculpture invites reflection on how our identity is shaped by internal complexity versus external structure.

“They Influence How We Think”
They Influence How We Think explores the complex relationship between human thought and external forces. Carved from a richly veigned alabaster, the piece combines the delacacy ot the human face with the mechanical weight of the gears. The small figure pulling on the copper wire evokes the manner in which our thoughts can be shaped, directed and at times, constrained by other relationships in our lives. This work invites viewers to reflect on those influences—social, technological, political, and cultural—that quietly shape perception and identity.
Alabaster Stone Sculpture
“Time Spent In My Brain”
This sculpture gives form to the constant stream of ideas that fill my and many artist’s mind—particularly the endless concepts for new sculptures. The face, calm and grounded, contrasts with the intricate gears that emerge from the exposed top and back of the head, symbolizing thoughts that never stop turning. Time Spent In My Brain captures both the excitement and the weight of living with a mind that is always creating, always imagining, and never fully at rest. There is a struggle that weighs the ability to execute the ideas with the time left to do so.
Alabaster Stone Sculpture
“Sight Adjustment”
Alabaster Stone Sculpture
Part of both my Mechanical Head series and Couch Carving series, Sight Adjustment explores the act of perception as something constructed, and shifting. The interlocking gear forms suggest the machinery of thought and vision—always in motion, always reconfiguring.
Carved from Translucent Peach and Raspberry alabaster, the piece balances precision with organic irregularity, reminding us that clarity rarely arrives all at once. Instead, it is adjusted, tuned, and reconsidered over time. The polished gears evoke the human tendency to filter and process experience, while the open spaces leave room for what can’t fully be measured or defined.
This sculpture invites viewers to consider how their own “sight”—both literal and metaphorical—shapes the way they engage with the world.

Couch Carving Series
“Peace”
Marble Stone Sculpture
Carved from White Marble and mounted on a steel and stone base, “Growth” takes the form of a mouth in mid-emergence, sprouting delicate leaves that echo the Green Man tradition. The slight upward tilt of the head and gentle smile channela feeling of organic life pushing through a ststic form. As part of my Couch Carving series, this sculpture balances the organic with the engineered—its marble solidity contrasted by the steel that supports and elevates the mouth. Here the mouth functions not only as expression but also genesis: words, breath, and life sprout from the static stone.

“Society’s Decay—Corrupted Justice”
Alabaster Stone Sculpture
Tan evaluation on truth and power, “Corrupted Justice” confronts the effect of a not-so-blind justice system on society. The blindfold, traditionally a symbol of impartiality, here suggests distortion—justice that cannot see clearly, or choses not to.The erosion of the face and head show the impact of a system that is bought and paid for by those with the means to do so. This sculpture is part of my “Couch Carving” series.

Juried Acceptance into Second Career Makers Exhibition - Peters Valley School of Craft, NJ - Juried Exhibit, 2025
This sculpture embodies the suppression of voice within a fractured society. The bound textured mask suggests both a struggle and a restraint, symbolizing how speech and truth are stifled amid cultural and political decay. The contrast between the polished stone and the rough, knotted folds evoke tension between power and resistance, silence and expression.

Winter Rose
With sweeping curves and fluid negative spaces, Winter Rose embodies the quiet strength and elegance found in nature’s most resilient forms. The highly polished surface accentuates the interplay of light and shadow, reveling subtle warmth within the cool black stone. This contemporary abstraction suggests both the delicacy of a rose and the endurance of stone, offering a meditation on beauty, transformation, and the persistence of life through the stillness of winter.
