“The beauty of Nature inspires the heart to pursue the nature of Beauty”
Crystals are some of the densest and hardest Earth matter, and yet their bodies are transparent; an inorganic life form stamped by mystery, with portals to other realms. Because of their unique characteristics they are used in electronic components as well as powerful tools in the hands of healers, meditators, and dreamers. They are collected for their mineralogical rarity and aesthetic beauty. I combine the mediums of natural crystal, bronze and light to create harmonic resonating sculptures.
In 2003, I completed a commission for American Express, creating the centerpiece of the 9/11 ‘Eleven Tears Memorial’, located across the street from Ground Zero. My collaborative work ‘Bahia’ stands as the cornerstone of the museum collection at the Gemological Institute of America in Carlsbad, California.
There are two coffee table books of my work - “FROZEN LIGHT – The eternal beauty of crystals” and “PRIMAL BEAUTY– The Sculptural Artistry of CrystalWorks” – a finalist in 2 national book award competitions.
