UPLIFTING
THE HEAVENS
Cedar on hickory
12 x 9 x 9"
I
love Buddhas. Even the Happy Buddhas
have wonderful mysterious expressions. A
Buddhist friend told me this is the name
of a Tai Chi move. Larger |

GRATIA PLENA
Apple wood on hickory
25 x 10 x 9"
$2,500
I was thinking about acceptance...of whatever
was happening to you in your life. Growing
up Catholic brought me closer to the female side of religion, since
historically they were next after the time of Mother/Goddess religions
and not so afraid to include female influences. I was trying to
show Mary as she is told of her fate. My mother named her Gratia
Plena or 'full of grace'. Another front view Side view |

HEJIRA
Mango on walnut
10.5 x 16 x 5"
This is one of those sculptures that started out as something else, until I turned it around in a different position. Suddenly, there was that face, the only dark spot on this light wood. I was thinking of movement and mobility. Her wing ends looked like the fins of a '57 Chevy. From the back side, her underbelly looks like wheels. She is powered by her energy ball of chi.

SLIPPING AWAY
Dogwood on black walnut
12 x 41 x 9"
$2,500
I often have dreams of floating ... sometimes
in air, sometimes in water. Usually
I am swim-stroking through the air.
Floating is so peaceful if you can
relax into it. This piece stirs up memories of growing up on the
Gulf coast of Florida and rocking on the gentle water. The dogwood
is from my sister's yard in Tallahassee. Larger

THE THREE GRACES
Cherry
12 x 12 x 2.5"
$800
I saw a reproduction of the Hellenistic
Greek marble deep relief of The Three Graces and loved it.
They were the companions of Aphrodite.
I like carrying on the tradition
of art by creating my own modern version of a classic. I was thinking
of my two sisters and our own interactions with the goddess of love
and beauty. Larger view

$20,000

from Miami after Hurricane Andrew. It took two years of carving
this hard wood to complete the piece. Close-up Back view Front view Another back view Profile view |
