I was raised outside of Atlantic City, NJ in a family where laughter, humor, theatrics and the arts were a natural and highly valued vehicle for dealing with life and its challenges. I began sculpting several years ago and have referenced back to my childhood by bringing humor, play and a bit of irreverence to my work. Humor was an essential part of my formative years and I believe it to be essential to living. It has become increasingly relevant to my artwork and it has become important for me to merge a playful humor with the serious concerns I address in my art. In an effort to have each one of my creations a more complete expression I work this sense of fun and humor into my compositions whenever it is artistically called for. As far as the process goes these pieces are a joy to create.
