Saint Francis of Assisi
Bronze, 29″ x 19″ x 15″
Limited edition of 10
Saint Francis of Assisi patron saint of nature and animals has been depicted many times. My goal was to bring Francis to life in my own unique way where viewers are immediately struck by his gentle and warm presence. A chance to be embraced by love and non-judgement and a respite from a harsh world. Because most renditions of Francis are placid and expressionless, I think it’s easy to overlook him or turn him into a caricature. So, I focused on his facial construction, depicting him smiling, but spent the majority of my time working on his eyes to communicate a gentle, forgiving gaze that I believe is at the core of Francis and his work.
Silver Wings
Resin, 21″ x 13″ x 9″
Limited edition of 12
What drives someone to climb into the cockpit of a flying death trap to test dangerous aircraft that most men were afraid to fly? What drives someone to rebel against social convention and gender roles to risk their life for two thirds of the pay of their male counterparts?
Joan of Arc, Divine Defender
Resin, 24” × 14” × 10”
Limited edition of 12
“I am not afraid; I was born to do this”. Fiercely courageous and relentless to the end of her earthly life, this sculpture captures Joan’s indomitable spirit as she emerges from the earthly pyre. Her armor is restored, as she rises victoriously towards Heaven. Ascending from the flames of destruction, Joan’s transcendent pose reflects both surrender and victory. Her expression radiates a resplendent beauty, evoking a sense of hopefulness and expectancy that comes from a knowing that her spirit will be one with God. Although they burned her body, they could not burn her soul.
Mary Magdalene
Bronze, 22” × 16” × 16”
Limited edition of 10
This sculpture captures Mary Magdalene, beloved disciple, leaving the tomb of Jesus. Mary initially experiences a stunning sense of surrealism and confusion when she realizes that the tomb is empty. Her initial thoughts are: “Where is Jesus?” and “Who took him?” She is panicked and is extremely upset. She then remembers Jesus’s words promising that God would raise Him on the third day. Her mind begins to calm, and it is with great intensity that she is propelled into action, making her way post-haste to proclaim the good news to the other disciples. Immediately, you can observe and feel the juxtaposition of the rugged tomb and rolled away stone with Mary’s compelling, beautiful presence. The back of the tomb is emblazoned with the Chi-Rho, an early symbol representing the connection between the crucifixion of Jesus and his resurrection.
On the step to the right is the sudarium, which was the cloth that covered His face; and to the left lies His burial shroud.
Fly Girl
Resin, 27” × 16” × 11”

“Fly Girl” is a tribute to the early icons of women’s aviation. Women who dared to jump into ramshackled open-air cockpit of single propeller planes in order to realize their dreams of flying. Airracing, barnstorming, stunt flying, all the while braving the way for other women to follow unconventional paths.
