C o m b i n i n g  the line and form of sculpture with the playful anima of puppetry has been my livelihood for more than thirty years. The intention of the work is to carry a silent imprint or sense of emotion through the posture and expression of the figure evolving in front of me. Built using a process that is movable throughout its construction, a tangible sense of emerging comes naturally to the finished sculpture: movement is part of the design. 

The line and gesture of my work draws on a continuing practice and study of the human figure. Drawing, painting, sewing, printmaking and sculpture are all components of my work.

I stumbled into this uniquely personal work during my time as a textile and costume associate with the renowned Mermaid Theatre of Nova Scotia. 

Enchanted from the first moment, I have never let go.

I am proud to have created figures for Cirque de Soleil, which were sold in their shops around the world.

A fun thing that happened . . .
