SCULPTURE
about the sculptor
As a sculptor based in Middletown, Rhode Island, I am deeply inspired by the oceanic surroundings that characterize this coastal state. From the rhythmic movements of the waters to the ethereal essence of marine life, my work is a reflection of the weightless and buoyant qualities found in the depths of the sea.
With a desire to create paradoxical situations in my large-scale metal sculptures, I am continually drawn to exploring the intersection between the organic and the industrial. Through my training and hands-on experience, I have developed a distinctive style that blends the precision of craftsmanship with the fluidity of natural forms. Having collaborated on numerous public installations nationwide, I am passionate about creating artwork that not only captivates visually but also resonates with its surroundings. Whether it's through the graceful curves of a wave or the intricate detailing of marine life, each piece embodies a synthesis of artistry and technical expertise.
