Artist Statement



     I look through nature and strive to either create an entirely new creature out of characteristics of modern or prehistoric animals, or try to recreate a specific species’ traits into my artwork. By doing this, it adds more to a sense of uniqueness and surprise in each piece, and adds character and personality into each sculpture. I hope to portray the animal's inner workings and mannerisms while showing correct proportions and patterns of each animal. I would like the audience to come away from the piece with a newfound respect for the animal being viewed, or become interested in the world around the fantasy beast. Art’s main purpose should be to promote an artist’s idea through complex thought and process, and I would hope my piece shows the thought and purpose of every feature in order to further reveal a piece’s secrets.
