Karo Woman Sculpture

My fascination with cultures has always been a great motivation to explore and celebrate these images thru sculpture. My hands,tools and water-based clay is where it all begins. In 2001 the United Nations Secretary addressed the Florence Biennale with this thought… “Artist’s have a special role to play in the global struggle for peace. At their best, artists speak not only to people; they speak for them. Art is a weapon against ignorance and hatred and an agent of public awareness…. Art opens new doors for learning, understanding, and peace among people and nations.” This very powerful message still rings true in my heart and soul and I hope to continue to create and open those doors. “ Art speaks volumes for those without a voice in this ever-changing world we all find ourselves apart of.”
