ARTIST'S STATEMENT

"From assembling jigsaw puzzles and drawing in my youth, I have evolved into creating the most artistic sculpture and painting that I can design in my adult life. Building mystery so that the art entices and makes one want to look again is the best that I can do.

One of the most influential people to my career is Electra Waggoner Biggs. I agree when she emphasizes that the only thing remembered about a sculpture is the quality of the work. Biggs created the most noted sculpture at Texas Tech University in Lubbock, my native area. It is a highly skilled rendition of Will Rogers on his horse, Soapsuds, which can also be seen at the Will Rogers Memorial Center in Fort Worth, Texas. After completing the statue, she destroyed it to build it again, because it did not suit her. Likewise, a Saint-Gaudens' suggestion is: "A sculptor's work endures so long, that it is next to a crime for him to neglect to do everything that lies in his power to execute a result that will not be a disgrace."
