I work in a variety of mediums- clay, plaster, limestone, soapstone and marble. I attempt to capture the range of human emotion and the essence of the human subject through realistic and abstract portrayals. Blending my clinical work as a psychotherapist with my artistic practice, each informs the other as I explore what it means to be human using the nonverbal visual medium of sculpture.
The previous practices of the sculptors in Neolithic and prehistoric times, classical antiquity, Rodin, Giacometti, Henry Moore, Barbara Hepworth and Brancusi couched within the structure of Western Psychology, inform my attempt to understand the evolution of man, the development of the mind and human relationships.
My works are held in private collections in Melbourne and a recent public acquisition at Werribee Mercy Hospital, Melbourne.
