"I am a stone carver for many reasons.  I love the physical and mental challenge of this material.  I enjoy making this rugged material vulnerable by approaching it with the most incredible power tools, all of which I am not afraid.  Stone is a tool for me to draw with because I see in 3-dimension.  I am always seeking to find the most powerful and sensual form and create the most tactile surface.  I enjoy bringing the viewer into the sculpture itself, either by relating through personal emotions or by literally providing an opportunity to climb or sit on [within] the form.  For me carving stone and exploring its potential is what gives me energy."
