Even though I feel like I found my life’s work in 1993, when I became a New Age Counselor and hypnotherapist, I have been an artist all of my life. My earliest memories are of making designs with my food instead of eating it. And much of my life energy has been spent expressing myself through the arts in one way or another.

During my early years, although I never went to a real art school, I was given the opportunity to express myself artistically through a variety of interesting and challenging jobs. These included time as a graphic artist, a clothing designer, and a product designer.

Then, through a “twist of fate’, I spent almost 15 years working in the movie industry, honing my hands-on artist’s skills as a sculptor, a special effects artist, and a model maker. I was lucky enough to work on many interesting and memorable projects. These included Euro Disneyland for Walt Disney Imagineering, the “Dinosaurs” T.V. show with The Jim Henson Creature Shop, the movie “Indian In the Cupboard” for Paramount and Sony Pictures, and many other T.V. shows and commercials.

After I moved up here to the Pacific Northwest, I sculpted miniature collectibles for a variety of companies, including The Danbury Mint, The Walt Disney Company, Lenox, Gobel Miniatures, etc., until my growing hypnotherapy practice could support me.

Now, as a counselor and hypnotherapist, (which I find to be very fulfilling and creative in a very different, but equally satisfying way), I can create whatever I want artistically. I please myself, and honor my creative voice within. This is a great joy and fulfils a long time dream for me.

At this time I am inspired to work in a variety of three-dimensional expressions, as you can see from this website. I enjoy sculpting, assemblage pieces, and occasionally doing wild and crazy calligraphy for poems I’ve written.

Multnomah Falls was the first of several limited editions that I have sculpted. Then came Kokopelli Dancing, and now The American Dream. If you like my work, watch for 2 more limited editions to come along soon. One of them will be my first bronze. Called “My Mother, My Daughter”, it is about the many tangled relationships between Mothers and Daughters. The other is a tiny miniature waterfall – Fairy Falls.

The artworks here have been inspired by the unspoken values and choices of our distorted throwaway culture that so many take for granted. Those pieces that address this are my voice raised in protest, and are the only way I know of (other than my counseling) to do my part to raise the awareness on our floundering planet.

As for my political pieces: I feel strongly about what is happening politically and culturally, and am very upset by the environmental damage that I am forced to witness. I cannot stand by and say nothing while our planet is being raped and pillaged by those who know no better.

I am doing my best to wipe away the veil from all those who remain the Sheeples who inspire some of my work. If my art helps to raise the consciousness of those who move blindly through our toxic and shallow culture, and moves us towards a loving and positive change, I will have succeeded.
