When I was a child living in Germany, I was often playing in the woods.  Creek beds and their masses of jellylike frog eggs were  endlessly fascinating.  When I was asked to make something with frogs, I thought it might be fun, if I could come with an idea that meant something.  It was not until I was carving details into the wax hanging frog did I realize that I was doing a self-portrait of sorts...myself as the hanging frog.  My parents told me the story of how I had crawled out of my crib one night.  They entered the room after hearing my cry.  I was hanging by the knobs on the dresser, terrified of my future.  Here, though, the sitting frog is more curious of the outcome without his intervention.  This bronze weighs about 4.5 pounds and will ship from Norfolk, Virginia.

I am interested in why we do what we do and how thoughts progress. Since I was a child, I watched and touched and listened, trying to make sense of things. It was easy to feel the sadness of life, but also the yin and yang. So, I work to put beauty in front of us. I have been told that my work is “all over the map” but in my mind, everything is connected. I hope you enjoy your visit and will be enticed to go to my Web site for more work and writings. Thank you.
