Artist Statement

ARTIST’S STATEMENT:
All my life I have found my happy place in the company of my many pets. I raised my two daughters in a house filled with dogs, a cat and other smaller creatures. It was a zoo and we all loved it! We became volunteers at the Humane Society of Westchester. I joined the board of directors in 2004 and continue my involvement to this day. In my career as an advertising creative director/writer I loved putting animals in the commercials I wrote and produced.
Starting in high school I began to sculpt and returned to it off and on over the years. I always ended up sculpting animals. After some experimentation with hand building, I realized what I want to do is express the happiness I find in the company of animals through my artwork. As a developing sculptor, I hope my work brings a smile to the people who see what I create.
