Sculptural practice

For more than 50 years, various forms of creative expression have been one of the great joys of my life. In my early thirties, I found myself mysteriously and unexpectedly drawn to the ancient art of bronze sculpture. To my surprise, sculpting the human figure came naturally, and what began as an unexpected calling has expanded into a lifelong conversation between art, spirit, and the mystery of consciousness.

From my early twenties, I have also felt a deep curiosity about extraterrestrial, interdimensional, and multidimensional life. Over the years, these two paths gradually came together, shaping the body of work I create today.

My earliest sculptures explored my own inner landscape. Strong feminine figures gave form to hidden emotions, fears, and challenges. By shaping these experiences into sculpture, I was bringing them into the light where they could be understood, honored, and ultimately released.

Gradually, my work became lighter, both physically and spiritually. Delicate beings of light emerged, along with the occasional faerie or troll, hinting that my artistic journey was moving beyond the familiar world.

Today, my sculptures are inspired by the extraordinary beings I have come to know through deeply personal inner experiences. Some feel connected to civilizations beyond Earth. Others, as I experience them, exist in subtler dimensions of consciousness. Each sculpture is an intuitive expression of a being whose presence has touched my life, created to honor their quiet dignity, gentle beauty, and profound spirituality.

My Process

Every sculpture begins the same way: with an open invitation. Then I wait. Sooner or later, a presence arrives. As I sculpt, I work intuitively with that presence, allowing its unique resonance to guide the process.

I am not trying to create a literal portrait of them. Rather, I seek to express how they choose to reveal themselves to me in that moment. My hands seem to know where to go before my mind understands why, and I have learned to trust that quiet knowing.

The relationship often extends well beyond my studio. Inspiration may come while driving, shopping for groceries, washing dishes, or brushing my teeth. At times, I receive a fleeting inner image that instantly answers a question I have been holding about a sculpture. At other moments, I simply become aware of a gentle presence beside me.

These experiences are often accompanied by a profound feeling of love, gratitude, and deep remembrance that moves me to tears. Each being has its own personality. Some are playful, others contemplative, some quietly humorous. All have met me with extraordinary patience and kindness as we create together. Over time, they have become dear friends.

One discovery that continues to fascinate me is their individuality. Just as no two humans are exactly alike, the beings I have encountered each possess their own distinct appearance and character. My sculptures are therefore not intended as definitive representations of any civilization, but as deeply personal artistic expressions born from my own experiences.

I do not believe there is a single right way to connect with these greater realities and their beings. My own journey has simply been one of openness, curiosity, respect, and listening. Through that openness, I have rediscovered relationships that feel ancient, loving, and deeply familiar.

Each encounter awakens a deeper remembering within me. It is a joy to share these sculptures with you, honoring the beautiful beings who have become dear friends and inviting you to explore our greater Galactic Community through the language of art.
