Artist Statement

My goal as a wildlife sculptor is to evoke in the viewer a connection with these wild animals, thus further deepening an appreciation for them. Passing on this appreciation of nature to future generations will help to ensure the well-being of these animals. It is my hope that in the future, my bronzes will not be examples of some zoo-kept or extinct creatures but of flourishing, abundant animals living free in the wilderness and in harmony with us.
