​For the Birds 1997 - 2025

For more than 20 years birds have been a part of my sculptural explorations.  Their shapes, how they stand or perch and strut have been fascinations.  But my primary engagement is in the colorful patterns they present which allow me to exaggerate and abstract the forms of their structure.
