Sculpting challenges me to translate an idea from my mind to a piece of art that tells a story. Over the last five years, I have participated in a number of group shows and summer arts festivals including Colorado Artfest at Castle Rock, Vail and Breckenridge Art Festivals and the Art Students League Summer Art Market to name a few. I also have had artwork selected by the Cities of Lone Tree, Aurora and Broomfield to participate in their sculpture on loan programs. In early 2011, I completed my first public commission called "The Gathering Place" which consists of 10 life-size bronze geese coming in for a landing. What better way to represent the Mask Project than by creating a mask for the Mask. In keeping with the theme of my artwork, creating wildlife bronze with a contemporary flair, I chose to create a mask of the Great Horned Owl which symbolizes "Life Transistion or Change" and I feel, represents the work of The Denver Hospice.
