The themes of my work are drawn essentially from giants in the field of the arts: poets, writers, sculptors who reveal the spirit of the human person living, suffereing, joy-ing in the "embrace of life". In bronze, wood and stone, I try to capture that moment when person meets person, when humanity touches the Divine.
