“Finding Center”
White Marble
50” X 24” X 20”
$9,500
My concept for this sculpture is “Finding Center.” It consists of spiraling forms coming together on one side of the sculpture. This is meant to represent elements of our lives which tend to spiral out of control, creating chaos. When we take a little time to “find center,” these chaotic elements of our lives fall into line and create a beautifully harmonized ensemble. Taking time to meditate, pray, breathe and slow down gives us the power to harness our chaos and bring everything together in a beautiful life.
Serenity
In creating “Serenity,” I focused on finding a form that would inspire meditation, reflection, and peace. The beauty of the marble compliments the way the light and shadows move across the form. My hope is that viewers will feel the positive vibes I set out to create in this piece.

Peaceful Slumber is a one-of-a-kind, white marble carving of a stylized figure who is sleeping peacefully and regaining health, healing, and renewing her mind, body, and spirit. So often life is a battle of stress, heartache, and physical and mental challenges that we miss out on this healing time, and we let restlessness damage our wellbeing. My desire is to highlight the importance and positivity associated with balancing our lives in such a way that our minds, bodies, and spirits can achieve this peaceful healing state of slumber, and thus release our true selves and potential for joyful lives.
