"Liberty"

This piece is made out of Italian Statuario Marble. I made her in 2009 after I became an American citizen. 

"The Heart has Opened 

in a Fundamental Way"

I was searching for an image deeper, more fundamental than pregnancy. I wanted to move further back in the embrace of life and the life giving qualities active inside of us.

The fish, like semen, lives in the water. The gestation process in the womb moves life from the element of water to the element of air. That reach and embrace across the elements is what interested me in carving this sculpture.

    "Torso with Diamond"

    Italian statuario marble, the torso pivots 

    on a black granit base.

    A heart shaped dimond of 0.6 carat is

    carefully built into the marble. An opening 

    from the back lets the light shine through.

          "Forever Held"

  Italian statuarion marble. The piece 

  now is standing on a oval black 

  granit base.
